Root Explanation

Insofar is formed from "in" (meaning within) and "so far" (meaning to that extent). The word describes a condition or extent that is limited to a certain degree or range.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'within' a certain limit ('in') and how far that limit extends ('so far'). This helps you remember that 'insofar' refers to a specific extent or condition.
