insofar

To the degree

Insofar appears almost exclusively in the phrase insofar as, meaning to the extent that or in the degree that: The law applies insofar as it doesn't conflict with the Constitution.

It limits or qualifies a statement, marking boundaries: I'll help insofar as I'm able.

The phrase is formal and often replaceable with simpler constructions like "to the extent that" or just "as far as."
