Latin

Etymology

Probably from the Old Latin locative hoi + -ce, from Proto-Indo-European *g?e and Proto-Indo-European *?e (“here”), according to De Vaan (2008). Compare the mostly pre-Classical h?c (“to this place, for this reason”), which De Vaan says is from an instrumental case form.

Confer the same alternation between ill?c and the older ill?c. See also hinc.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /hu?k/, [hu?k]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /uk/, [uk]

Adverb

h?c (not comparable)

1. (generally) to this, to this (alone), to (only) this subject/matter; for this (alone), for this (one) thing
2. (locatively) to/at (precisely) this place, hither, here
3. (temporally) to (merely) this point in time, thus far, so far
4. (indicatively of purpose) to (solely) this end, for (just) this purpose, for (none other than) this reason, that, so that, in order that
5. (together with illuc as huc et illuc, indicatively of either disordered or reciprocating action) in a disorderly manner: to this and to that, hither and thither, from pillar to post, from post to pillar, helter-skelter, willy-nilly, chaotically, haphazardly; in a reciprocating manner: to here and to there, hither and thither, back and forth, to and fro, by turns, alternately, alternatingly
6. besides, additionally

Usage notes

The adverb huc may either function specifying a direction (simply referring to "here"), or excluding it from the rest (referring to "only here"), depending on context. In English translation, the latter exclusivity can be expressed by including the adverbs provided above in parentheses.

Etymology 1

From Middle English hewe, from Old English h?ew (“appearance, form, species, kind; apparition; hue, color; beauty; figure of speech”), from Proto-Germanic *hiwj? (“hue, form, shape, appearance; mildew”), from Proto-Indo-European *kew-, *?ew- (“skin, colour of the skin”) or *?ey- (“grey, dark shade”). Cognate with Swedish hy (“complexion, skin”), Norwegian hy (“fluff, mold, skin”), Icelandic hégómi (“vanity”), Gothic ???????????????? (hiwi, “form, show, appearance”). Compare also Sanskrit ??? (chavi, “cuticle, skin, hide; beauty, splendour”); Irish ceo (“fog”), Tocharian B kwele (“black, dark grey”), Lithuanian šývas (“light grey”), Albanian thinjë (“grey”), Sanskrit ????? (?y?vá, “brown”).

   • 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson, Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde

     A great chocolate-coloured pall lowered over heaven, but the wind was continually charging and routing these embattled vapours; so that as the cab crawled from street to street, Mr. Utterson beheld a marvelous number of degrees and hues of twilight; for here it would be dark like the back-end of evening; and there would be a glow of a rich, lurid brown, like the light of some strange conflagration; and here, for a moment, the fog would be quite broken up, and a haggard shaft of daylight would glance in between the swirling wreaths.

2. The characteristic related to the light frequency that appears in the color, for instance red, yellow, green, cyan, blue or magenta.

   In digital arts, HSV color uses hue together with saturation and value.

3. (figuratively) A character; aspect.
4. (obsolete) Form; appearance; guise.
