Definition
Thereby means 'by that action' or 'as a result of that', linking what someone did with what happened because of it. It is more formal and is often used in written or academic English.
Etymology
From Middle English *therebi*, combining *there* + *by*. It literally means 'by that (means)'.
Kelly Says
You can often replace 'thereby' with 'and because of that' to hear its meaning. It’s a compact way writers connect cause and effect without repeating the whole action.
