Morphology

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

Formed from 'here' + 'unto'; the literal deictic meaning is visible but 'unto' is archaic and the usage is formal/dated, which limits transparent inference for learners. [Postprocessing: moved 'unto' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Hereunto combines here ('at or near this place') and unto ('to'), so it once meant 'to this place, person, or thing' and is now used only in old or very formal language.
