De-hôrt', v. t.

v. t. [imp. & p. p. DEHORTED; p. pr. & vb. n. DEHORTING.] [Lat. dehortari, from de and hortari, to urge, exhort.] To urge to abstain from; to dissuade. [Obs.]

“Exhort” remains, but dehort, a word whose place neither “dissuade” nor any other exactly supplies, has escaped us.

Trench.
