Whence was normally used in a question form---" from whence comest thou, friend?" ( Where you be from in da hood brotha?)

You will never understand these words until you realize there are three sets of three: hence, thence, whence; here, there, where; hither, thither, whither. The three “starts” of wh-, th-, h- combine meaningfully with the three “ends” of -ence, -here, -ither to form 9 distinct and special words.

Learn more about obsolete words in your local library :-)

Hence, we’re gonna need a few more threads.

Whither the weather changes before my plants wither.
Hither cometh my zither player, Zebulon.
Grabbest Thither my tether, Taylor.
Thence we must separate the Whence/Hence thread.
Here and There, Now and Later, Before and After; really quite endless.
