HENCE Copy link • HENCEOf place, hinc, including, like the English word, the notion of a source, cause, etc.; e.g., hinc illae lacrimae nimirum; for which inde may be used in reference to a preceding statement; ex avaritia erumpat audacia necesse est; inde omnia scelera ac maleficia gignuntur, Cic.). To go hence, abire: decedere: hence! (= away with you) abi: apage te! abi hinc; amove te hinc! Hence! ye profane, procul este profani. The road from hence to India, via, quae est hinc in Indiam (Cic.). Of time: ☞ In such expressions as “a few days hence,” “a year hence,” the adverb “hence” is not expressed in Latin. Of inference; consequently; denoting a consequence, itaque (“and so,” “accordingly;” denoting the consequence or conclusion from a cause, or conformity with a preceding statement): igitur (“consequently,” “therefore,” denotes an inference from a reason): ergo (= igitur - a strong affirmation; hence it is used in more formal argumentation. Respecting the position, observe that itaque is placed at the beginning of the proposition, but igitur usually after one or more words; only in drawing inferences, Cic. sometimes places it first): ideo (“consequently,” points to the reasons and arguments as such): ☞ proinde (= “igitur cum exhortatione quadam,” used in animated exhortations): quare: quamobrem: quapropter: quocirca (“wherefore,” “whence,” refer to a preceding proposition, which contains the reason. ☞ Adeo, as an inferential particle, is not Latin). And hence, ideoque, et or atque ideo; ☞ not et igitur, igiturque, Pr. Intr. ii. 677. Hence it happens that, etc., ita fit. ut, etc.
