| Jan 12, 2014 at 19:28 | comment | added | John Lawler | This is the coordinating conjunction for; like and, or, and but, it can begin a sentence, for rhetorical effect. It means the same thing as the subordinating conjunction because. This usage is rather archaic and rhetorical, however, and indicates a very non-colloquial stance. Like reciting poetry, speeches, or prayers. Especially from the 18th and 19th centuries. | |
