here From olderhec Proto-Italic *hoke , from*ho Proto-Indo-European *gʰo ( “ indeed ” ,emphatic clitic ) ) +*ke *ḱe ( “ here ” ,deictic particle ) ). Reconstructed forms witho are made likely by the Old Latin formhoi ( “ this ” ) .
The feminine and neuter inflected forms were created in analogy toquī, quae, quod hac ( acc./abl. sg. f. ) . A petrified form may be present in the Umbrian word for "the same":eru-hu ( abl. sg. m. ) ,era-hunt ~ era-font ( abl. sg. f. ) [ 1] [ 2]
In Indo-European the first element is cognate withSanskrit घ ( gha ) ~ह ( ha ,intensifier ) ,हि ( hi ,“ surely, for ” ) ,Czech že ( “ that ” ,conjunction ) ,Russian же ( že ,intensifying particle ) . The second element is cognate withLatin cis ( “ on this side ” ) ,ce-dō Ancient Greek ἐ-κε-ῖνος ( e-ke-înos ,“ that ” ) ,Old Irish cē ( “ here ” ) ,Gothic 𐌷𐌹𐌼𐌼𐌰 ( himma “ to this ” ) . More athe here

Seneca the Younger ,
De brevitate vitae 15 :
Hōrum tē morī nēmō cōget, omnēs docēbunt;hōrum nēmō annōs tuōs conteret, suōs tibi contribuet; nūllīus exhīs sermō perīculōsus erit, nūllīus amīcitia capitālis, nūllīus sūmptuōsa observātiō.No oneof these will force you to die, but all will teach you how to die; no oneof these will wear out your years, but each will add his own years to yours; nothingfrom these conversations will bring you peril, the friendship of none will endanger your life, the courting of none will tax your purse. 8CE ,
Ovid ,
Fasti 4.777 :
hīs dea plācanda estWith these [supplications] must the goddess be appeasedIn Medieval Latin pl. fem.hae through some vulgar form,*haeae , is replaced byhee . When combined with the interrogative clitic-ne i is restored at the end of the word:hici ne ,haeci ne ,hoci ne , etc. First /second-declension adjective (hic -type).
Nom. fem. pl. is sometimes "haec", particularly before vowels and h, especially by Plautus and Terence. We refer to "Latijnse Spraakkunst, Janssens, Van de Vorst & Geerebaert, par. 78". We also refer to "Latijnsch Woordenboek, Van Wageningen & Muller (see: hic, haec, hoc)". A third reference is "Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar (see: Demonstrative Pronouns)". This demonstrative adjective/pronoun is used to refer to a person or thing, or persons or things, near the speaker. It contrasts withille ( “ that ” ) , which refers to people or things far from the speaker and the listener, andiste ( “ this/that ” ) , which refers to people or things near the listener. As Latin had no person pronouns specifically meaning "he", "she" or "it", any ofille iste hic is In Vulgar Latin, phonetic changes tended to eliminate both the initialh and finalc , leaving nothing but a bare vowel. Consequently, this demonstrative gradually disappeared and was replaced withiste ipse este ( “ this ” ) < Latiniste ese ( “ that (near you) ” ) < Latinipse aquel ( “ that (far from you and me) ” ) < Latineccum ille hoc Catalan ho Portuguese agora ( “ now ” ) < Latinhāc hōrā type demonstrative anaphoric identity interrogative/ indefinite negative other proximal medial distal relative indefinite free choice universal negative polarity basic hic iste istic ille illic is ipse īdem quis quī quisquis quīcumque quis quī quīdam aliquis aliquī quispiam quīvis quīlibet quisque quisquam ūllus aliquisquam nēmō nihil nūllus alius dual uter utercumque alteruter utervīs uterlibet uterque neuter alter place hīc istīc illīc ibī̆ ibī̆dem ubī̆ ubiubi ubī̆cumque alicubī uspiam ubivīs ubilibet ubīque usquam nusquam nūllibī alibī aliās source hinc istinc illinc inde indidem unde undecumque undeunde alicunde °undelibet undique aliunde destination hūc hōrsum istūc istōrsum illūc illōrsum eō eōdem quō quōrsum quōquō quōcumque aliquō quōpiam aliquōvorsum quōvīs quōlibet quōquam nusquam nūllōrsum aliō aliōrsum method, hāc istāc illāc eā eādem quā quāquā quācumque aliquā quāvīs quālibet quāque nēquāquam haudquāquam aliā manner hōc modō istō modō illō modō ita sīc eō modō item itidem ut quī quō modō quōmodo quemadmodum utut utcumque quōmodocumque quī quōdam modō aliquō modō quōmodolibet utīque ūllō modō nūllō modō aliter aliōquī alterō aliō modō time num nunc ōlim tum tunc simul quandō cum cumque quandōcumque quandōque quondam aliquandō quandōlibet quandōque umquam numquam aliās quantity tam †tamen tandem quam †quamquam aliquam quamvīs quamlibet size tantus tantusdem quantus quantuscumque aliquantus quantusvīs quantuslibet quality tālis quālis quālis quāliscumque aliquālis quālislibet number tot totidem quot quotquot quotcumque aliquot quotlibet order totus quotus quotuscumque aliquotus quotuslibet repetition totiēns quotiēns quotiēnscumque aliquotiēns quotiēnslibet multiplication totuplex quotuplex † Turned conjunction with original meaning somewhat dissimulated
