Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *hosp, *husp (“derision, mockery”), of obscure origin. Likely an alteration of Proto-West Germanic *hosk, *husk (“derision, mockery”), from Proto-Germanic *huskaz, *huską (“mockery”), from Proto-Indo-European *kūd- (“to shout, be naughty, mock”). More at Old English husc.
