In early English, a number of new words were formed by combining where with a preposition. In such words, where had the meaning of "what" or "which"—hence, wherein ("in what"), whereon ("on what"), and wherefore ("for what"). Although wherefore as an adverb is rarely used today, the noun form, meaning "an answer or statement giving an explanation," survives in the phrase "the whys and wherefores."

在早期的英语中，许多新词是由 where 和介词组合而成的。 在这样的词中，where 具有“what”或“which”的含义——因此，wherein（“in what「在什么”中」）、whereon（on what「“在什么”上」）和wherefore（“for what「为了什么」”）。 尽管wherefore在现在很少用作副词的形式，意思是“an answer or statement giving an explanation「给出解释的答案或陈述」”，但仍然存在于“the whys and wherefores「为什么和为什么」”这个短语中。
