Definitions For Hoit

Etymology 1

{{unk, en}}. Possibly from {{der, en, non, -}}, or a native {{inh, en, ang, -}} term. Perhaps somehow from Middle English hote, , to promise, etc.. Compare {{cog, cy, hoetian, , to dally, dandle}}, as well as {{cog, sco, hoit, , to move awkwardly or clumsily, especially of a stout person or animal, to waddle}}, which may be more plausible (especially in sense 2).

Verb

{{en-verb}} {{term-label, en, intransitive}} (archaic) To behave frivolously and thoughtlessly; to play the fool. (obsolete) To romp#verb, romp noisily; to caper#verb, caper, to leap#verb, leap.
