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.
thither
adv : to or toward that place; away from the speaker; "go there
around noon!" [syn: there] [ant: here]
