THERE

There, adv. Etym: [OE. ther, AS. th\'d6r; akin to D. daar, G. da, OHG. dar, Sw. & Dan. der, Icel. & Goth. Þar, Skr. tarhi then, and E. that. *184. See That, pron.]

1. In or at that place. "[They] there left me and my man, both bound together." Shak. The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. Ge. ii. 8.

Note: In distinction from here, there usually signifies a place farther off. "Darkness there might well seem twilight here." Milton.

2. In that matter, relation, etc.; at that point, stage, etc., regarded as a distinct place; as, he did not stop there, but continued his speech. The law that theaten'd death becomes thy friend And turns it to exile; there art thou happy. Shak.

3. To or into that place; thither. The rarest that e'er came there. Shak.

Note: There is sometimes used by way of exclamation, calling the attention to something, especially to something distant; as, there, there! see there! look there! There is often used as an expletive, and in this use, when it introduces a sentence or clause, the verb precedes its subject. A knight there was, and that a worthy man. Chaucer. There is a path which no fowl knoweth. Job xxviii. 7. Wherever there is a sense or perception, there some idea is actually produced. Locke. There have been that have delivered themselves from their ills by their good fortune or virtue. Suckling.

Note: There is much used in composition, and often has the sense of a pronoun. See Thereabout, Thereafter, Therefrom, etc.

Note: There was formerly used in the sense of where. Spend their good there it is reasonable. Chaucer. Here and there, in one place and another.

Syn.

– See Thither.
