- O.E. husting "meeting, court, tribunal," from O.N. husрing "council," from hus "house" + рing "assembly," so called because it was a meeting of the men who formed the "household" of a nobleman or king. The native O.E. word for this was folc-gemot. The plural became the usual form c.1500; sense of "temporary platform for political speeches" developed early 18c. from London's Court of Hustings, presided over by the Lord Mayor, which was held on a platform in the Guildhall. This sense broadened to encompass the whole election process. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
