Etymology

Verb

hie (third-person singular simple present hies, present participle hieing or hying, simple past and past participle hied)

(intransitive, poetic) To hasten; to go quickly, to hurry.

(reflexive, poetic) To hurry (oneself).

Usage notes

Unlike most reflexive verbs, “hie” generally takes the simple object pronouns rather than the reflexive pronouns. Thus “we hied us” and “hie you,” rather than “we hied ourselves” and “hie yourself.” This peculiarity most likely arises from a sense that the poetic connotations of “hie” accord well with the archaic practice of using object pronouns with reflexive verbs.

Noun

hie (plural hies)

Haste; diligence.
