HOWELL, thus is not related to the "thee, thou, thy" words.  It means:

1. in the way just indicated; in this way: Stated thus, the problem seems trivial. 
2. in such or the following manner; so: Thus it came to pass. 
3. accordingly; consequently, therefore: It is late, and thus you must go. 
4. to this extent or degree: thus far."


I hope this helps.  It is usually used in place of "therefore," IMHO.  For instance, "She could not swim, thus she did not want to go to the beach."
