Hereinbelow

/ˌhɪrɪnbɪˈloʊ/ adverb

Definition

A formal term meaning 'below in this document' or 'in the following part,' used to reference content that appears later on the page.

Etymology

From 'herein' (in this) and 'below' (lower down). A formal alternative to 'hereinafter,' emphasizing the spatial relationship on the physical page.

Kelly Says

Medieval scribes were obsessed with spatial relationships in documents because people actually had to flip through parchment, so 'hereinbelow' was more precise than just 'later'!
