Withal and withal

Withal and its derivatives (sometimes spelled with a final -ll) are chiefly used as adverbs expressing various kinds of additive meaning - usually positive (‘in addition’), occasionally negative (‘nevertheless’). The simple form is also used as a preposition, but as it is only found at the end of a construction, in place of with, it would perhaps be better referred to as a postposition. Although herewithal and therewithal had been used in English since the 14th century, examples of wherewithal are recorded only from the mid-16th century. Henry VIII provides an early instance of the noun use - the only form to have survived into modern English.
