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.
