Origin

Late Old English husting 'deliberative assembly, council', from Old Norse hústhing 'household assembly held by a leader', from hús 'house' + thing 'assembly, parliament'; hustings was applied in Middle English to the highest court of the City of London, presided over by the Recorder of London. Subsequently it denoted the platform in Guildhall where the Lord Mayor and aldermen presided, and (early 18th century) a temporary platform on which parliamentary candidates were nominated; hence the sense 'electoral proceedings'.
