Usage

"Thenforth" is a formal and somewhat literary adverb used to indicate that something started at a specific past moment and continued after it. It is synonymous with "from then on" or "thereafter." It typically refers to a change in a state or the beginning of a new, ongoing situation.

Examples

• Logical Consequence: It can sometimes imply that the subsequent situation is a direct result of the prior event.
