+ '''illūc''' (not comparable)^(Wiktionary)
+ 
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is perhaps from ⟨*illoic⟩, an old locative of direction of [[m|la|illic|t=that one]], compare [[grc|ποῖ|tr=poî|t=whither]].^(OLD 2012) Wiktionary reconstructs [[itc-pro|*e/olloike]], from [[m|la|ille|t=that]] and the particle [[m|la|-ce]], parallel to [[m|la|illōc|t=thither]], an old instrumental, as [[m|la|hūc]] beside [[m|la|hōc]].^(Wiktionary)
+ 
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008) but Ennius already has ''īmus hūc, hinc illūc'', “we go here, from here there”.^(OLD 2012) Plautus has ''age tū illūc prōcēde'', “come on, you, go over there”.^(OLD 2012)
+ 
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ ''Illūc'' is “to that place, thither” (Cicero), and ''hūc … illūc'' is “this way and that, to and fro” (Virgil: he divides his mind now this way, now that).^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) Figuratively it is “to that point, to that matter”, and so “there” in a passage of a book.^(OLD 2012)
+ 
+ Church Latin glosses it “thither, to that place, person or matter”;^(Stelten 1995) medieval Latin also uses it for “there” (place where).^(Niermeyer 1976)
+ 
+ ==Timeline==
+ * 204–169 BC – Ennius: ''īmus hūc, hinc illūc''.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
+ * c. 250–184 BC – Plautus: ''age tū illūc prōcēde''.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
+ * 70–19 BC – Virgil: ''nunc hūc … nunc dīvidit illūc''.^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)
