Etymology

The term 'henceforward' originates from combining the adverb 'hence', meaning 'from this place' or 'from now', with 'forward', which denotes a direction toward the future. The word has its roots in Middle English, where it was used in a similar form as 'hensforรฐ'. The use of prefixes and suffixes to create compound adverbs was common during the development of the English language. The earliest known usage of 'henceforward' dates back to the 15th century, and it has been used in legal, formal, and literary contexts to express the continuation of a state or action into the future.
