A quick definition of thereunto:
Term: THEREUNTO
Definition: Thereunto means the same thing as thereto. It refers to going to a specific place, thing, or outcome. For example, if a jury awards $750,000 in damages, and then adds another $250,000 to that amount, they are adding thereto or thereunto.
A more thorough explanation:
Thereunto is an adverb that means the same as thereto. It refers to a place, thing, issue, or similar matter.
- The judge ordered the defendant to pay a fine of $10,000 and, thereunto, serve six months in jail.
- The recipe called for flour, sugar, and eggs, and thereunto added a pinch of salt.
In the first example, the word thereunto is used to refer to the punishment that the judge ordered for the defendant. In the second example, it is used to indicate that a pinch of salt should be added to the other ingredients in the recipe.
