thou

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'second person once' is the definition.
(historical second person pronoun)

'wearing socks in hothouse?' is the wordplay.
'THOU' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thou that I've seen before include "You, in olden times" , "Measure" , "Archaic pronoun" , "You (many years ago)" , "once paired with art" .)
