Definition of undefined

The word "whereas" has a rich history dating back to the 14th century. It comes from the Old English phrase "hweāræs" (from hweor, "from where" + according to "sæ", "it is"), which was used to indicate a contrast or a difference between two ideas. In Middle English, the phrase evolved into "wheras", and by the 16th century, it had become a standalone word "whereas". In legal and formal writing, "whereas" is used to introduce a definition, a premise, or a statement of fact. It's often used in combinations such as "whereas [statement X is true]... [conclusion Y follows" to indicate a logical connection between ideas. Today, "whereas" is still a standard part of formal language, helping writers to establish clear contrasts and logical connections in their writing.
