Etymology

The term 'thou' originates from Old English 'รพลซ', which is a second-person singular pronoun. It was used to denote address to one person, contrasting with 'you', which was originally plural. The usage of 'thou' as a familiar form of address persisted well into the Middle English period. Over time, 'thou' began to decline in usage, especially as social hierarchies changed and the more formal 'you' became prevalent. 'Thoued' emerged as the past participle form reflecting this old usage. It is often associated with literature from past centuries, and its remnants can be found in religious texts, particularly in translations of the Bible such as the King James Version. The terms surrounding 'thou' reflect the rich evolution of the English language and are now often used to evoke a sense of antiquity or to create a stylistic effect in poetry and drama.
