Dehort \De*hort"\, v. t. [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.
