2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: 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 ``love one another,'' that is let each love the other or others ``These two imparadised in one another's arms.'' --Milton. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: another adj 1: distinctly separate from the first "that's another (or different) issue altogether" [syn: {another(a)}, {different}] 2: one more or an added; "another chance"; "another cup of coffee"; "an additional piece of pie" [syn: {another(a)}, {additional}] 3: any of various alternatives; some other "put it off to another (or some other) day" [syn: {another(a)}, {some other}]
