Hither and thither, to this place and to that; one way and another.
Syn. — There. 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.
Thith"er (?), a. 1. Being on the farther side from the person speaking;

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