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