hushaby
Bedtime calming murmur
Hushaby is a soothing word used to lull a child to sleep, appearing most often in lullabies: Hushaby, don't you cry.
It combines hush with the -aby ending found in lullaby and rockabye, creating a gentle, rhythmic sound meant to quiet restless infants.
The word is old-fashioned and largely confined to nursery songs.
