Hither

Posted by Ashish Shetty Monday, July 03, 2006

The word idhar in Hindi refers to "here" or "on this side", just like the Old/Middle English word hither. They come from the same Indo-European demonstrative base, possibly hider. The sound of "d" is more like "th" as in father.

See Merriam-Webster etymology for hither.
