Pronunciation

Etymology 1

[edit]

Assuming that anco represents the original form, likely a rebracketing of ancora as anc'ora.[1][2] A borrowing from Old Occitan ancui (on this day) has also been suggested,[3] but this would explain neither the stress position of anche, nor the lack of a final -ui (an acceptable ending in Italian; cf. lui).

Adverb

[edit]

anche

  1. also, too, as well, besides
  2. even
