Etymology:
Meaning:
Feeling or expressing gratitude.
Origin:
The word "thankful" is derived from the Old English word "þancol," which originally meant "full of thought" or "meditative." Over time, it came to acquire the sense of "grateful" or "thankful." The word "thank" itself is thought to be derived from the Proto-Germanic word *þankōn, which also meant "thought" or "thanks."
In its modern usage, "thankful" is typically used to express gratitude for something specific, such as a gift, a kindness, or a favor. It can also be used to express a general sense of gratitude for one's life or circumstances.
