therethrough の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語のþǣr（そこ）とþurh（通って）の複合副詞。thereは場所を示す指示語、throughはゲルマン祖語*þurhから。thereby（それによって）、thereof（それの）と同じthere+前置詞の構造で、文語的・法律的文書で多用される。
Therethrough is a compound of there and through. Its structure continues an old Germanic pattern in which a form of there combines with a preposition or adverb to refer back to something already mentioned. There descends from Old English þǣr, while through continues Old English þurh and related Germanic forms. Like thereby, thereof, and therein, therethrough survived chiefly in formal, legal, or archaic styles.
