therefor

Meanings

1. 1
   adv

   formal, especially legal: for that thing, action, or reason; in return for it

   The contractor supplied the materials and received payment therefor.

A compound of there, in its older demonstrative sense 'that,' + for. Unlike therefore, which means 'for that reason' and signals a conclusion, therefor usually means 'for that or for it' and survives chiefly in formal and legal prose.
