O.E.
for "for, before, on account of," from P.Gmc.
*fura (cf. O.S.
furi, Du.
voor "for, before;" Ger.
für "for;" Dan.
for "for,"
før "before;" Goth.
faur "for,"
faura "before"); see
fore . A common prefix in O.E., where it could be intensive, destructive, or perfective. Its use alone as a conjunction (not found before 12c.) is probably a shortening of common O.E. phrases such as
for þon þy "therefore."

Be*cause"\, conj. [OE. bycause; by + cause.]
1. By or for the cause that; on this account that; for the reason that. --Milton.
2. In order that; that. [Obs.]
And the multitude rebuked them because they should hold their peace. --Matt. xx. 31.
Because of , by reason of, on account of. [Prep. phrase.]
Because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. --Eph. v. 6.
Syn:
Because ,
For ,
Since ,
As ,
Inasmuch As .
Usage: These particles are used, in certain connections, to assign the reason of a thing, or that "on account of" which it is or takes place. Because (by cause) is the strongest and most emphatic; as, I hid myself because I was afraid. For is not quite so strong; as, in Shakespeare, "I hate him, for he is a Christian." Since is less formal and more incidental than because; as, I will do it since you request me. It more commonly begins a sentence; as, Since your decision is made, I will say no more. As is still more incidental than since, and points to some existing fact by way of assigning a reason. Thus we say, as I knew him to be out of town, I did not call. Inasmuch as seems to carry with it a kind of qualification which does not belong to the rest. Thus, if we say, I am ready to accept your proposal, inasmuch as I believe it is the best you can offer, we mean, it is only with this understanding that we can accept it.
