> Turns out the "whence" and the "whither" are the
same:
????
whence adv., conj. also used in gen. --
always has a sense of "from where" --
"where from"
whither v. basic meaning -- move rapidly
to and fro (OE)
whither adv. "where to? (OE)
to which place...
whither sb. rush about (Late ME) --[obvious
late extended meaning]
example compounds: whitherto [to what]
and "whitherward" [towards what]
There are no synonyms in English --
and these two are definitely not the
same thing.
