Morphology

henceforth = hence (transparent) = forth + hence

The adverb's meaning is a straightforward combination of 'hence' + 'forth' yielding 'from now on', so learners familiar with the components can derive it. [Postprocessing: moved 'forth' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Henceforth combines hence ('from now') and forth ('forward'), giving the image of moving ahead from this moment. So, it means 'from this time forward', starting now.
