English - Etymology 1
From Middle English _thee_, _the_, from Old English _þē_ (“thee”, originally dative, but later also accusative), from Proto-Germanic _*þiz_ (“thee”), from Proto-Indo-European _*te_ (“second-person singular pronoun”). Cognate with German Low German _du_ (“thee”), German _dir_ (“thee”, dative pron.), Icelandic _þér_ (“thee”). More at thou.
PRONOUN
THEE (_second-person singular, objective case_, _nominative_ THOU, _reflexive_ THYSELF)
* (archaic, literary) Objective case of _THOU_.
* 1598, Shakespeare, _Henry IV part 1_, 1.2.49-50:
Prince Henry: Did I ever call for THEE to pay thy part?
Falstaff: No; I'll give THEE thy due, thou hast paid all there.
* (Quaker, Amish, Pennsylvania Dutch English) Thou.
* _THEE is a little strange, I think._
USAGE NOTES
When used in place of the nominative _thou_, _thee_ uses the third-person singular form of verbs (see example at "quotations").
