erstwhile
[urst-wahyl]
adverb: former; of times past
|
Erstwhile conjures memories of the past, but in a fancy way. It might be a colleague, love interest, or era from days gone by that you think about. Want a poetic way to talk about nostalgia? Go with erstwhile. |
Example: Before the meeting began, the manager warmly greeted a colleague who had erstwhile been his rival.
