Etymology
1. 1548, probably originally past tense of M.E.
hysse (1490), which is probably from M.Du.
hyssen "to hoist," related to Low Ger.
hissen and O.N.
hissa upp "raise." A nautical word found in most European languages, but it is uncertain which had it first. In phrase
hoist with one's own petard (see petard) it is originally the past tense.
2. Alteration of earlier hoise (“to hoist”), apparently based on the past tense forms, from Middle Dutch hisen (“to hoist”). Compare modern Dutch hijsen (“to hoist”), German hissen (“to hoist”), Danish hejse (“to hoist”). Compare also French hisser (“to hoist”), Galician isar (“to hoist”), Spanish izar (“to hoist”), Catalan hissar (“to hoist”), Italian issare (“to hoist”),
3. Portuguese içar (“to hoist”), Sicilian jisari (“to hoist”), all borrowed from a Germanic source. See: Dutch '
hijsen', German, old spelling '
hissen', Danish '
hejse', French '
hisser', Galician '
isar', Spanish '
izar', Valencian '
hissar', Italian '
issare', Portuguese '
içar', Sicilian 'jisari'.
