Definición
To keep something secret or prevent people from knowing about it, often by hiding information or stopping people from talking about it.
Uso & Matices
Informal, sometimes used for scandals, crimes, or embarrassing events. 'Hush up' can be a command ('Hush up!' means 'Be quiet!'), but the phrasal verb 'hush up' means to hide information. Common in news and legal contexts: 'They tried to hush up the story.' Not the same as simply 'stay quiet.'
