Another \An*oth"er\, pron. & a. [An a, one + other.] 1. One more, in addition to a former number; a second or additional one, similar in likeness or in effect. Another yet! -- a seventh! I 'll see no more. --Shak. Would serve to scale another Hero's tower. --Shak. 2. Not the same; different. He winks, and turns his lips another way. --Shak. 3. Any or some; any different person, indefinitely; any one else; some one else. Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth. --Prov. xxvii. 2. While I am coming, another steppeth down before me. --John v. 7. Note: As a pronoun another may have a possessive another's, pl. others, poss. pl. other'. It is much used in opposition to one; as, one went one way, another another. It is also used with one, in a reciprocal sense; as, [bd]love one another,[b8] that is, let each love the other or others. [bd]These two imparadised in one another's arms.[b8] --Milton. |
