praeterhac

Latin

Etymology

From praeter (“besides”) and a form of hic (“this”). Although the second part appears to be identical with the feminine ablative singular, a simple univerbation of preposition + prepositional object could synchronically only originate from praeter haec. Compare praetereā.
