What does ITERUM mean in Scrabble?
adverb
archaicrare
Again, once more, a second time.
Iterum is the Latin word for again, and it survives in English mainly inside quoted Latin phrases, legal maxims, and older scholarly or liturgical writing rather than as a word people use on its own. A reader meets iterum most often in a line quoted straight from a Latin source, where it simply signals that an action already described is happening once more. Because it never fully naturalized into everyday English, iterum keeps its foreign flavor and its restricted, bookish use.
