whither    音标拼音: [w'ɪðɚ] [hw'ɪðɚ]
ad. 到哪里

到哪里

Whither \Whith"er\, adv. [OE. whider. AS. hwider; akin to E.
where, who; cf. Goth. hvadr[=e] whither. See {Who}, and cf.
{Hither}, {Thither}.]
[1913 Webster]
1. To what place; -- used interrogatively; as, whither goest
thou? "Whider may I flee?" --Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]

Sir Valentine, whither away so fast? --Shak.
[1913 Webster]

2. To what or which place; -- used relatively.
[1913 Webster]

That no man should know . . . whither that he went.
--Chaucer.
[1913 Webster]

We came unto the land whither thou sentest us.
--Num. xiii.
27.
[1913 Webster]

3. To what point, degree, end, conclusion, or design;
whereunto; whereto; -- used in a sense not physical.
[1913 Webster]

Nor have I . . . whither to appeal. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]

{Any whither}, to any place; anywhere. [Obs.] "Any whither,
in hope of life eternal." --Jer. Taylor.

{No whither}, to no place; nowhere. [Obs.] --2 Kings v. 25.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: Where.

Usage: {Whither}, {Where}. Whither properly implies motion to
place, and where rest in a place. Whither is now,
however, to a great extent, obsolete, except in
poetry, or in compositions of a grave and serious
character and in language where precision is required.
Where has taken its place, as in the question, "Where
are you going?"
[1913 Webster]
[1913 Webster]

  • Using the word whither - English Language Learners Stack Exchange
    The usage of "whither" generally indicates a question, just as "where" and "whence" do when the place is unknown Your examples, for instance, "This is the sea whither we were sailing" are not really in accord with correct usage A more likely use of whither would be something like, "We are here in this sea How did we get hither? And now whither?"
  • grammar - Use of Whither and Whence - English Language Learners Stack . . .
    Both where and whence whither talk about places Whence is used when the place is a source or starting point Whither is used when the place is a destination or ending point Where is used when the place is simply something we're communicating and isn't part of a motion Or: Whence is basically equivalent to from where
  • and be borne along with it, he knew not whither. . . meaning in the . . .
    "Whither" is an old word, not used nowadays, that means "to where" English also had "hither=to here" and "thither= to there" In current English we would say "he knew not where" or "he didn't know where" It means he doesn't know where the water in the stream is going to It is not related to "wither" (meaning dry up and die)
  • Is there a word for petals falling without withering?
    When roses whither, the petals shrivel and dries up before falling Is there a word like withering, but doesn't imply that the petals shrivel and dries up? Is there a word that refers to just petals falling like in the beauty in the beast?
  • Should I say: Where do you live or where do you live in?
    I would say it is a poor or vague question, because 'where' only refers most generally to a location So the answer might be, I live in a castle, or I live at the North Pole or I live in the city
  • informal language - Is it correct to use to where as an equivalent . . .
    a podcast recording goes as follows: I came across this really funny website the other day it is designed, um, to where people can anonymously send an e-mail to an annoying co-worker
