daher
/daːɐ̯/

VerbConsequently, by or in consequence of that or this cause; referring to something previously stated.
How to use
The conjunctional adverb daher ('therefore / hence / that is why / from there') is used to express consequence. Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a verb, which is a major error; it is an adverb. When placed at the beginning of a clause, it causes inversion (Es war kalt, daher blieb er zu Hause — It was cold, therefore he stayed home). It can also indicate spatial origin ('from there').
🇬🇧 English
daher
Example
Sie beschloss daher, sobald sie die Gelegenheit dazu hatte.
So she decided as soon as she had the chance.
