Pronunciation

  • Audio:(file)
  • Rhymes: -anke
  • Hyphenation: àn‧che

Etymology 1

Assuming that anco represents the original form, likely a rebracketing of ancora as anc'ora.[2][3][4] A borrowing from Old Occitan ancui (“on this day”) has also been suggested,[5] but this would explain neither the stress position of anche, nor the lack of a final -ui (an acceptable ending in Italian; cf. lui).
