I don't think I understand the question, though. Are you asking what it means, or wondering why the preposition is where it is? It doesn't 'stand for' anything.

This is a common stylistic arrangement.

This is a common stylistic arrangement.
In this phrase and in others like 'qua de causa' in the other thread isn't the primary purpose of the order to do with the linking relative?

As Latin didn't have punctuation, ordering the words in this manner acts sort of like punctuation.

Quod si is another example
