Etymology of THONSELF

"Thonself" is a gender-neutral pronoun that was coined in the late 19th century as an alternative to the pronouns "himself" and "herself". It was created by blending the words "that" and "one" to form "thon". The pronoun "thon" was then altered by adding the suffix "-self" to create "thonself". The term was mainly popularized by Charles Crozat Converse in 1884, who sought to create a gender-neutral pronoun for usage in English. Although "thon" and "thonself" did not gain widespread usage, their creation contributed to the developing discussion on gender-neutral language.
