tharë

Tharë is a term that appears in multiple works of fantasy and in discussions of constructed languages. In its most common fictional usage, tharë is a noun in an imagined language derived from Proto-Elvish roots, roughly translated as "vision" or "sight" and used to denote a form of inner seeing granted by certain rites or magical practice. Etymologically, in the primary fictional lexicon, tharë is built from a root thar- meaning "to see" with the nominal suffix -ë, yielding a concept of perceptual or prophetic sight rather than mere physical vision.

In narrative contexts, tharë is often associated with seers, dreamlike revelations, or prophetic dreams. It may appear in poetry as a symbol of clarity and truth, and in some series it also designates a ceremonial practice in which participants undergo a trance to receive visions.

Variations exist across authors and adaptations. Some fan-translations treat tharë as "truth seen" or "revealed light", while others treat it as a general term for "insight". Because tharë originates in fictional world-building, its exact meaning and significance can differ between works, and many authors explicitly define it within their own lexicon.
