Morphology

thereinafter = therein (semi-transparent) = after + therein

The meaning follows from the components 'therein' + 'after', but the whole form is legal/formal and 'therein' is not common knowledge for many learners. [Postprocessing: moved 'after' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Thereinafter is made from there, in, and after, which together mean 'in that place later'. So in a contract or text thereinafter points to something that comes later in the same document.
