DEHORT

De*hort", v. t. [imp. & p. p. Dehorted; p. pr. & vb. n. Dehorting.] Etym: [L. dehortari; de- + hortari to urge, exhort.]

Definition: To urge to abstain or refrain; to dissuade. [Obs.] The apostles vehemently dehort us from unbelief. Bp. Ward. "Exhort" remains, but dehort, a word whose place neither "dissuade" nor any other exactly supplies, has escaped us. Trench.
