duewhereas

Duewhereas is a coined term, not found in standard English dictionaries. It fuses the words due and whereas to evoke both causation and contrast in a single connective, typically in experimental or humorous contexts.

Etymology and usage: The idea is to signal a causal condition (due to X) while also foregrounding a contrasting circumstance (whereas Y). Because it is nonstandard, readers may interpret it as either a blend or a misconstruction. It is rarely appropriate for formal or legal writing, where clarity and conventional phrasing are preferred.

Examples: Duewhereas the project faced delays due to supplier shortages, the team proceeded with a revised schedule; whereas the client demanded concessions. Duewhereas the policy was created after extensive review, whereas its practical rollout proved difficult.
