Morphology

hereunto = here (semi-transparent) = unto + here

Formally composed of 'here' + 'unto' so parts are visible, but 'unto' is archaic/formal and the combined legal/document sense may not be obvious to learners. [Postprocessing: moved 'unto' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Hereunto is made of here ('in this place' or 'in this document') and unto ('to' or 'toward'), so in legal writing it means 'to this document or matter'.
