Morphology

hereinabove = herein + above (semi-transparent) = herein + above

The meaning is directly composed from 'herein' + 'above', but the combined legal/formal adverb is archaic and may be unfamiliar to many learners.

Etymology

Hereinabove comes from herein ('in this') and above ('earlier' or 'up'). So, when a document uses hereinabove, it is referring to something mentioned earlier in the same text.
