Definitions

  1. (used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result

Word origin

From Middle English therfore, therfor, tharfore, thorfore; synchronically a univerbation of there (pronominal adverb) + for, literally “for that (reason)”. The spelling has been changed due to a reanalysis as there + fore (literally “forward from that; thence”). See also therefor, ultimately the same formation.

Used in a sentence

  • Traditional values will always have a place—therefore, they will never lose relevance.
  • I've been explicitly forbidden to leave and therefore must stay longer.
  • I left the office at 5 o'clock. I was therefore not there when the fire started a quarter of an hour later.
