"Whither away" is an idiomatic expression that means to fade, diminish, or disappear gradually. It often implies a sense of loss or decline over time. The phrase can be used in various contexts, such as discussing emotional states, physical health, or even societal issues. Overall, it conveys the idea of something moving towards a state of nonexistence or insignificance.
It is the counterpart of "where". "Where" asks the location of something which is immobile; "whither" asks the destination of something which is moving. "You have captured and bound the prisoner; where are you keeping him?" but "The prisoner has escaped; whither is he running?" It is most often replaced in current English by "to where" or "where to" The third word in this series is "whence" which asks the point of origin of a moving object. "We have captured an escaped prisoner; whence did he escape?" It is most often replaced by "from where" or "where from".
Whither Thou Goest was created in 1954.
"Whither go you" is an archaic phrase that means "where are you going?" It often conveys a sense of inquiry about someone's destination or purpose. The term "whither" is rarely used in modern English, making the phrase sound poetic or formal. It can also imply a deeper philosophical question about one's life direction or choices.
"Whither" can be substituted for "where to" any time you want to make people say "huh?"
