insomuch

To that extent

Insomuch is a formal or literary conjunction meaning "to such a degree" or "to the extent that," always followed by "that" or "as." With "that," it introduces a result: He was exhausted, insomuch that he could barely speak.

With "as," it means "inasmuch as" or "since": Insomuch as you have helped others, you will be helped.

The word sounds archaic in contemporary speech.
