insofar
Adverb: To the degree or extent that; as far as. It is used to introduce a clause that specifies the limits or conditions of a statement.
"Insofar" is a formal adverb used to qualify or limit the scope of a preceding statement. It is almost always followed by "as" to form the conjunction "insofar as." This phrase indicates that the truth or applicability of the main statement is dependent on or limited to the condition described in the clause that follows.
