A synonymous query to "whence" would be "from where".
The word "whence" originates sometime in the 1250s to 1300s, most likely from England as it is described as a Middle English term. It means from what place or origin.
No. Whence means from what place, the opposite of going to. Whence can also mean from what cause or what originWhence have you come?And where was this foreign land, whence the conquerors would come?
It is an old English word that means 'from where' or 'from what place'. An example is: "Whence comes this storm?"
"Whence" is an adverb that means "from where" or "from what place." It is often used in literary or formal contexts to inquire about the origin or source of something. For example, one might ask, "Whence cometh this information?" to seek clarification on where the information originated.
It means the person is a member of a Masonic Lodge.
"Whence come ye?" is an old-fashioned way of asking "Where do you come from?" It is a more formal or literary way of inquiring about someone's origin or source.
Generally, whence means from or out of which place, and whither means to what place. Whence can be used with the sense of 'by reason of which fact', meaning about the same as 'therefore', or 'ergo'. In this case there is no movement or action indicated. For example, from the Webster's Collegiate, "Whence I infer that my bones are not yet chalky." O. W. Holmes, 1935. These words are rarely used in standard US English, and I am surprised that they are not listed as obsolete or archaic. This may be a regional observation and the words may be in common use in other places.
