Word origin
The word 'thee' originated in Middle English, deriving from the Old English word 'the'. It has been used as a second-person singular pronoun in English for many centuries, particularly in poetry and old literature. The usage of 'thee' has declined over time, with 'you' becoming the more common form of address for the second person.
