Origin of Thus

From Middle English thus, thous, thos, from Old English þus (“thus, in this way, as follows, in this manner, to this extent"), from Proto-Germanic *þus (“so, thus"), perhaps originally from a variant of the instrumental form of this, related to Old English þȳs (“by this, with this"), Old Saxon thius (“by this, with this"). Cognate with Scots thus (“thus"), North Frisian aldoz (“thus"), West Frisian dus (“thus"), Dutch dus (“thus, so"), Low German sus (“thus, hence").
