[In 15th c. texts, hussht, hushte, varies with hust, huyst, and whist, derived from the corresponding interjectional forms, to express the state which these enjoin or produce. As an adj., husht gave rise to a vb. and n. of the same form; but it appears to have been at length felt as a pa. pple., as if hush-t, from which feeling there arose a new verb hush; under the influence of this, the original adj. itself passed into the pa. pple. hush'd, hushed, of which it is now treated as a variant spelling.]
