Etymology
The word 'therefore' originated from the Old English word 'รพวฃrfore', which was a combination of 'รพวฃr' (there) and 'fore' (before). Over time, it evolved into the modern term 'therefore' with the same general meaning of indicating a conclusion or consequence. The usage of 'therefore' can be traced back to Middle English and has remained a common adverb in English language usage.
