Etymology of THITHERWARDS

The word "thitherwards" is derived from two components: "thither" and "-wards".

1. "Thither" comes from Middle English "thider", which was developed from Old English "þider". It is related to the Old Norse word "þaðra" which means "to that place".

2. The suffix "-wards" is added to words to indicate direction or location. It comes from Old English "-weard", which was used to indicate the direction a person or object was moving towards.

Combining these two components creates "thitherwards", which indicates movement or direction towards a particular place.
