@Drewnogal said(Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? )
I’ve honestly never come across this word.
@Drewnogal saidIt’s not used much as it’s a little archaic; it’s used in legal speak and older books. It’s similar meaning to “wherein” or “whereon” where it is the interrogative … “why”. It can also be causal “something happened wherefore we decided to leave”. An example in the classics would be “wherefore art thou Romeo”. (Edit: as I see ghost has pointed out).
