The best place to start looking for the histories of words is http://www.etymonline.com

Before you can come up with a thesis statement, you need to understand what your topic is (i.e., do research) and decide what your position/opinion/attitude about that topic is.
Let us know what you decide.

I am having a very difficult time. thanks!
