§Grammar and usage
Whence already means 'from where', so 'from whence' is traditionally considered redundant, although it is often used.
Whence का अर्थ पहले से ही 'from where' है, इसलिए 'from whence' को परंपरागत रूप से अनावश्यक दोहराव माना जाता है, हालाँकि यह अक्सर प्रयोग होता है।
Usage: whence (from where), hence (from here) and thence (from there) form a set.
Usage में whence (कहाँ से), hence (यहाँ से) और thence (वहाँ से) एक समूह बनाते हैं।
