Surface Forms
Morphology
hereto = here (semi-transparent) = to + here
Formed from the clear elements 'here' + 'to' giving the sense 'to this', but usage is formal/archaic and largely restricted to legal or administrative contexts, so it's not fully transparent to general learners. [Postprocessing: moved 'to' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Hereto is simply the words here and to put together, literally 'to here' or 'to this'. In formal or legal writing it points to something attached or mentioned in the same document, so it means 'to this document'.
