WHISH Meaning and Definition

  1. Whish is a verb that originated from the Middle English word "whisse" which means to make a soft rushing sound or a gentle swooshing noise. It is commonly used to describe a quiet, whispering sound produced by something moving swiftly through the air or a rapid displacement of air caused by a sudden movement. When something whishes, it typically implies a swift or rapid motion with a subtle, rustling sound effect.

    This word is often associated with the sound made by various objects or natural elements, such as wind, water, air, or something moving in a quick manner. For instance, the wind may whish through the leaves of trees, creating a gentle rustling noise. Similarly, a bird swiftly flying by may cause a whishing sound as it glides through the air.
