Brit.

/hɪs/, U.S.

/hɪs/

Etymology: A word imitating or exemplifying the sound to which it is applied; apparently not recorded before the close of the 14th cent., and not known in the earlier stage of any Germanic language. (An alleged Old English hysian is an error.) Kilian has in early modern Flemish (1599) ‘hisschen , hissen , sibilare, Ang. hisse ’, but this word is not in Middle Dutch nor in modern Dutch, where ‘to hiss’ is sissen , German zischen . Compare hish v.¹, hizz v.

1. intransitive. To make the sharp spirant sound emitted by certain animals, as geese and serpents, or caused (e.g.) by the escape of steam through a narrow aperture, or uttered in the pronunciation of ‘s’. (Latin sibilāre.) Also with reference to electricity (cf. hissing arc n.).
