Origin of the word hence

The word "hence" is an adverb that originated from the Old English word "hanc," which is derived from the Latin "hinc," meaning "from here." This Latin word is the accusative form of "hic," meaning "this" or "here." In the 15th century, the word "hence" emerged in English to convey the idea of something being located near or from a particular place. It was initially used in spatial contexts, such as "henceforth" (meaning "from here on forward") or "hence" (meaning "from this place"). Over time, the word's usage expanded to include non-spatial contexts, such as causal relationships or logical connections, as in "hence, I conclude..." or "hence, it follows..." Today, "hence" is used in various forms, including "henceforth," "henceforward," and "hence," to convey a sense of logical consequence or remaining near a particular point.
