furthermore
UK: ˈfɜːðəmɔː | US: ˈfɜːrðərmɔːr
adv. in addition; moreover (used to introduce additional information or reinforce a point).
The word "furthermore" is a compound of "further" (from Old English furþor, meaning "more" or "beyond") and "more" (from Old English māra, meaning "greater in amount"). The combination emphasizes progression or addition in discourse, originally reinforcing the idea of "going beyond what has already been stated." Over time, it became a fixed transitional adverb in English, signaling an extension of logic or information.
