Moreover

/mɔːrˈoʊvər/ adverb

Definition

Moreover is used to add extra information that supports or strengthens what was just said. It often introduces an additional reason or point in an argument.

Etymology

Formed in English from “more” and “over,” originally meaning “beyond that, in addition.” It has been used in formal writing for centuries.

Kelly Says

Moreover is like a verbal ‘plus sign’ in essays: it stacks reasons on top of each other. When you see it, you can almost picture the writer saying, ‘And that’s not all, here’s another layer.’
