hustint.

Etymology: A natural utterance or ‘vocal gesture’, enjoining silence. It varies with husht , huisht , whisht , whist , and hist , all having the characteristic element 'st! 'sht! preceded by the whispered consonant h or hw , with the connecting vowel i , or u (ui ). See hist v.1As an interjection of command it is in effect identical with a verb in the imperative; nearly all the above variants were so treated, and in course of time developed verbs of the same form. The forms husht, whist were also in early use as adjectives of condition; thence, by further development, came the verb hush, followed by adjective and interjection of the same form.
Obsolete.
A sharp whispered sound enjoining silence: = hist int. ! st int. ! hush int. !
