whither Explanation: The word comes from whither - to what place or state, what is the likely future of. I believe it's also associated with the wind as in *the wuther of the wind amongst trees. In general I think the title is meant to remind the reader of such words as weather, wind, withered (dry). Oxford English Dictionary |
