whereof

Read a random definition: goldsmiths' notes

A quick definition of whereof:

Term: WHEREOF

Definition: Whereof means "of what," "of which," or "of whom." It is used to refer to something previously mentioned or understood. For example, if someone says "I know whereof I speak," they mean they have personal experience or knowledge of the topic they are discussing. If someone says "the book, whereof the cover was torn, was still a good read," they mean the book with the torn cover was still enjoyable.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: WHEREOF
Definition: Whereof is a conjunction that means "of what," "of which," or "of whom." It is used to introduce a clause that provides more information about the preceding noun or pronoun.
Examples:
  • Of what: Judge Wald knows whereof she speaks. (Judge Wald knows what she is talking about.)
  • Of which: Citations whereof even the most responsible are far afield from the true issue. (Citations, of which even the most responsible ones, are not related to the true issue.)
  • Of whom: Judges whereof only the most glowing words might be said. (Judges, of whom only the most positive things can be said.)

The examples illustrate how whereof is used to provide additional information about the preceding noun or pronoun. In the first example, whereof introduces a clause that explains what Judge Wald knows. In the second example, whereof introduces a clause that clarifies the meaning of citations. In the third example, whereof introduces a clause that describes the judges in a positive way.
