#formerly

• Adinioara — A rare graphical or regional variant, unaccented or transcribed without diacritics, of the temporal adverb 'odinioară' or the form 'adinioară'. In ancient texts, the term structurally refers to a distant period in the past, meaning 'formerly', 'in ancient times', or 'once'.
• Aldată — An old adverbial form, contracted from the structure 'altă dată' (another time), historically used with the meaning of 'once', 'formerly', or 'in the past'. It expresses an undefined, long-past moment in time, encountered primarily in old chronicle literature or northern regional dialects.
• Formerly — At another time, in a past era or, more rarely, at a future moment; expresses an indefinite temporal distance from the present, frequently used in literature to nostalgically evoke ancient times or long-lost customs.
