Webster's 1828 Dictionary

WHENCE

adv. 1. From what place.
Whence and what art thou?
2. From what source. Whence shall we derive hope? Whence comes this honor?
Whence hath this man this wisdom? Matthew 13:54.
3. From which premises, principles or facts. These facts or principles are admitted, whence it follows, that judgment must be entered for the plaintiff.
4. How; by what way or means. Mark 12:37.
5. In general, from which person, cause, place, principle or circumstance.
From whence may be considered as tautological, from being implied in whence; but the use is well authorized, and in some cases the use of it seems to give force or beauty to the phrase. We ascended the mountain, from whence we took a view of the beautiful plains below.
Of whence is not now used.

Webster's 1913 Dictionary

WHENCE

Whence, adv. Etym: [OE. whennes, whens (with adverbial s, properly a genitive ending; -- see -wards ), also whenne, whanene, AS. hwanan, hwanon, hwonan, hwanone; akin to D. when. See When, and cf. Hence, Thence. ]

 

1. From what place; hence, from what or which source, origin, antecedent, premise, or the like; how; -- used interrogatively. Whence hath this man this wisdom Matt. xiii. 54. Whence and what art thou Milton.

 

2. From what or which place, source, material, cause, etc. ; the place, source, etc. , from which; -- used relatively. Grateful to acknowledge whence his good Descends. Milton.

 

Note: All the words of this class, whence, where, whither, whereabouts, etc. , are occasionally used as pronouns by a harsh construction. O, how unlike the place from whence they fell Milton.

 

Note: From whence, though a pleonasm, is fully authorized by the use of good writers. From whence come wars and fightings among you James iv. 1. Of whence, also a pleonasm, has become obsolete.

whence

whence |(h )wens (h )wɛns |(also from whence ) ▶adverb formal or archaic from what place or source: whence does Congress derive this power? ▶relative adverb formal or archaic from which; from where: the Ural mountains, whence the ore is procured. • to the place from which: he will be sent back whence he came. • as a consequence of which: whence it followed that the strategies were obsolete. ORIGIN Middle English whennes, from earlier whenne (from Old English hwanon, of Germanic origin ) + -s 3 (later respelled -ce to denote the unvoiced sound ). usage: Strictly speaking, whence means ‘from what place, ’ as in whence did you come? Thus, the preposition from in from whence did you come? is redundant and its use is considered incorrect by some. The use with from is very common, though, and has been used by reputable writers since the 14th century. It is now broadly accepted in standard English.
