different between hie vs hse
hie
English
Alternative forms
- heye (obsolete)
- high
Etymology
From Middle English hien, hyen, highen, hei?en, hi?en, from Old English h?gian (“to hie, hasten, strive”), from Proto-Germanic *h?g?n? (“to breathe, snort”), from Proto-Indo-European *??yg?- (“swift, fierce, violent”). Cognate with Dutch hijgen (“to pant”), German heichen (“to choke, gasp for breath”), Danish hige (“to aspire, long”), Latin cie? (“set in motion, invoke, provoke”), Ancient Greek ????? (kiné?, “move, set in motion”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ha?/
- Rhymes: -a?
- Homophones: hi, Hi, high
Verb
hie (third-person singular simple present hies, present participle hying or hieing, simple past and past participle hied)
- (intransitive, poetic) To hasten; to go quickly, to hurry.
- (reflexive, poetic) To hurry (oneself).
Usage notes
Unlike most reflexive verbs, “hie” generally takes the simple object pronouns rather than the reflexive pronouns. Thus “we hied us” and “hie you,” rather than “we hied ourselves” and “hie yourself.” This peculiarity most likely arises from a sense that the poetic connotations of “hie” accord well with the archaic practice of using object pronouns with reflexive verbs.
