Tentang はもとより

(もと)より, commonly seen purely in hiragana, is a grammar pattern that indicates 'not only (A), but also (B) ', or 'let alone (A), (B)'. This construction is just a combination of は, the noun (もと) 'origin', and より. In this way, it is just highlighting that 'even compared to the original fact of (A), (B)'. Often, (A) will be something that is considered obvious, or the most well known information in regard to the topic.

はもとより may appear after nouns, or verb phrases that have been nominalized with の or こと.

Alternatively, はもとより may be used in structures where it is simply showing that (A) is the base from which (B) is also a fact. Although this may sound similar to the previous meaning, it translates closer to 'from the start, (A) is (B)', or 'by nature, (A) is (B)'. Which meaning is being used will usually be clear in the context of the overall sentence.

        Also curious, it feels like they are synonymous

        The primary difference here is that を始め can simply introduce the leading or representative example of a group, while はもとより has a stronger nuance that the first thing/element goes without saying, but the second element (which you might not expect) is also the case.

        There are many cases where both would be grammatically valid, but the nuance/framing of the statement would change.

        For example, if we take the first example sentence from this writeup:

        この商店街地元はもとより、全国からの観光客わっています。
        This shopping street is crowded with not only locals, but also tourists from all over the country.

        If we made this
        この商店街地元を始め、全国からの観光客わっています。

        …it would have the same general meaning but feel more neutral and objective, with less of an emphasis on the fact that locals go wit...
