thereon

/ðɛˈɹɔn/ adv B2, C1

on that thing or surface

Word Origin A compound of 'there' and 'on' — literally 'on that.' It's an old-fashioned adverb meaning 'on that thing or place.' The 'there' part comes from Old English þær, and 'on' from ana. Similar compounds: 'therein' (in that), 'thereof' (of that), 'thereto' (to that). These were common in legal and formal writing.
