I’ve seen this used somewhat uncommonly in literature and in posts on social media. It tends to happen, from my experience, when someone is trying to explain something in-depth or as a addendum to a point trying to be made. For example, and to create a circular reference:
I have a question about the usage of the word for, “For I’ve seen this used somewhat uncommonly in literature and in posts on social media.” Is there a term or any significance and/or difference for using the word “for” in the quoted sentence of the second paragraph of this question versus not using it in the first paragraph?

In the quoted sentence, the word “for” is used as a synonym of “because”.
