Origin of the word that

The word "that" has a rich history. It comes from Old English "þæt" (thæt), which was a neuter nominative and accusative singular form of "þēo" (thēo), meaning "thing". This "þēo" is thought to be derived from Proto-Germanic "*þiziz", which was also the source of Modern German "das" and Dutch "dat". In Old English, "þæt" was used to refer to a thing or an object, and it was also used as a pronoun to indicate a thing previously mentioned or implied. Over time, the word evolved into Middle English "that" (circa 11th to 15th centuries), and its usage expanded to include indicating a closer relation to the sentence or phrase it referred to. Today, "that" is a fundamental word in the English language, used in countless contexts to refer to a wide range of things, from abstract ideas to tangible objects.
