Forms: α. Old English geon, Middle English ȝion, yoene, ȝhone, yhon(e, Middle English yone, Middle English–1500s ȝone, (1500s, 1700s Scottish) ȝon, Middle English yhonne, 1500s yoen, (1600s–1700s yon'), Middle English– yon. β. Middle English ȝene, (1500s ien), 1500s, 1800s dialect yen, 1800s dialect yin.

Etymology: Old English geon adjective (rare), corresponding, with variation of vowel, to Old Frisian iêna , gêna (ienn- , inn- ), West Frisian jinge , Old High German jenêr , Middle High German, German jener , also Old High German, Middle High German enêr , German dialect ene(r , Old Norse enn , inn , hinn , definite article, (Swedish, Danish hin ), Gothic jains that. The Germanic bases underlying these forms, or other variants of them, are represented also in Old High German ennân , Middle High German enne(n from there, hither, Old High German en(n)ônt , Middle High German en(n)ent yonder, German dialect jenntak , jennabend yesterday, Gothic jainar there; Dutch and Low German show forms with initial guttural, viz. Middle Dutch ghene , gone , göne (Dutch gene ) that, Low German gunnen that, there, gunsiet yonder. Related forms outside Germanic are recognized in Sanskrit ēna- 3rd person pronoun, anēna , anayā (instr.), that (one), Old Slavonic onŭ he, Lithuanian añs he. See also yond adj.¹ and pron., yonder adv., adj., pron., and n. In Old English the only members of this family of words for which evidence is forthcoming are geon adjective and geond , geondan yond adj.¹ and pron. preposition (? originally adverb like Gothic jaind ), together with bigeonan (-ginan , -genan ) ‘trans’, begeondan (Northumbrian bigeanda , bigienda ) beyond adv., prep., and n. From these the various parallel uses of yon, yond, and yonder have arisen through the extension to other members of applications originally appropriated to one of them.The 17–18th cent. spelling of the word with an apostrophe (yon') indicates that it was regarded as short for yond.

Now archaic and dialect.

A. adj.

1. A demonstrative word used to modify a noun to indicate a thing or person as (literally, or sometimes mentally) pointed out: cf. that adj.¹ 1. Formerly often, as still in some dialects, simply equivalent to that (those); but chiefly, and in later literary use almost always, referring to a visible object at a distance but within view: = ‘that (those)…over there’. Also in yon same.
