henceforth
Starting this moment
Henceforth means from this time forward, starting now and continuing into the future.
The word is formal and often appears in legal documents, proclamations, or solemn declarations: Henceforth, all meetings shall be recorded.
In everyday speech, from now on serves the same purpose with less ceremony.
