People still say hither and to mean all over the place, moving this way and that. As a describing word, the hither side means the side nearer to us — very . Though actually, a come-hither look, a look that says come closer, often in a playful, romantic way, is the one bit that still lives in ordinary talk.
組成Does not split in modern English. From Old English hider, from Proto-Germanic *hidrê. Cognate with Latin citer, on this side.
