הס

/has/ Modern Israeli

Where it comes from

Most likely of onomatopoeic origin, or alternatively a shortened imperative of an unattested verb הִסָּה**. The latter claim is based on the observation that in the plural form the apparently second radical is geminated, which however does not have to be explained this way, as originally biconsonantal roots frequently geminate one radical to at least give the appearance of following the standard triliteral paradigm.

interjection הַס · has · form הָס

Biblical silence! quiet! וַיֹּאמֶר הָס וַיֵּצְאוּ מֵעָלָיו כׇּל־הָעֹמְדִים עָלָיו׃
