forasmuch

Seeing as how

Forasmuch is an archaic conjunction meaning "in view of the fact that" or "since," introducing a reason or cause.

It appears almost exclusively in legal documents and older religious texts: Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God... .

The word survives mainly as a marker of deliberately formal or antiquated style.
