that; cf. Icel. [thorn]a[eth]ra there, Goth.
[thorn]a[thorn]r[=o] thence. See {That}, and {The}.]
1. To that place; -- opposed to {hither}.
         This city is near; . . . O, let me escape thither.
                                               --Gen. xix.
                                               20.
         Where I am, thither ye can not come.  --John vii.
                                               34.
2. To that point, end, or result; as, the argument tended
   thither.
{Hither and thither}, to this place and to that; one way and
   another.
Syn: There.
Usage: {Thither}, {There}. Thither properly denotes motion
       toward a place; there denotes rest in a place; as, I
       am going thither, and shall meet you there. But
       thither has now become obsolete, except in poetry, or
       a style purposely conformed to the past, and there is
       now used in both senses; as, I shall go there
       to-morrow; we shall go there together.

   side of the water. --W. D. Howells.
2. Applied to time: On the thither side of, older than; of
   more years than. See {Hither}, a. --Huxley.
