thing's
Object's own attribute
Thing's is the possessive form of thing, indicating that something belongs to or is associated with a thing.
It appears in phrases like every thing's got its place or the thing's purpose remains unclear.
Because thing itself is so vague and general, thing's typically appears when referring back to something already mentioned or when deliberately keeping the subject indefinite.
