Origin of the word another

The word "another" has its roots in the Old English word "anþer", which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*andiziz", meaning "once again" or "formerly". This Proto-Germanic word is also the source of the Modern English word "once". In Old English, "anþer" meant "one and the same", and was often used to indicate repetition or similarity. Over time, the spelling evolved into "anither" in Middle English, and eventually into the modern spelling "another". Today, "another" is often used to indicate something additional or supplementary to something else, as in "I have another question". It can also be used to imply similarity or identity, as in "he's another one of those politicians". Despite its evolution in spelling and meaning, the word "another" still retains its roots in the Old English concept of repetition and similarity.
