[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.
