þanc

Etymology
From, whence also 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬. 🇨🇬, though a feminine ō-stem, is clearly related; probably it was originally a collective of PGmc *þankaz.

Noun

 * 1) thanks, gratitude
 * 2) satisfaction, pleasure
 * 3) thought

Usage notes

 * Unlike the modern word "thank," sense 1 is usually, though far from always, in the singular.


 * Sense 2 is only attested in a few set phrases such as sumum menn tō þances (“to someone's satisfaction”).


 * Sense 3 is rare in prose. There the related term is usual.
