hythe or hithe (HAITH) - n., a landing place on a river.


Also a small harbor or port, not necessarily on a river. The Fellowship sets off from Lothlorien (aside: I am amused that my browser's spellcheck knows that word) from a hythe. The word dates back to Old English hȳþ, and mainly survives in place-names.
