Morphology

therewithal = therewith (semi-transparent) = with + there + al

The base 'therewith' clearly means 'with that', but the addition of the rare/archaic suffix '-al' and the slightly shifted idiomatic sense make the formation less immediately obvious to modern learners.

Etymology

Therewithal joins there ('in that matter') with withal, an old word made from with + all that meant 'besides' or 'in addition'. So therewithal means 'together with that' or 'in addition to that'.
