Etymology
Came from Middle English *thon, which developed from Old English þān (“moist, damp, wet; having water, watered, irrigated”), from Proto-West Germanic *þain, from Proto-Germanic *þainaz (“moist”), from Proto-Indo-European *teh₂- (“to melt, flow”). It is cognate with Scots thane, thain (“moist, damp”), and related to thaw.
