Today's Words Of The Day: Erstwhile
Erstwhile (URST-wile) - from the Middle English for "earliest" + "while" - means former.
Example (as used by Edna St. Vincent Millay in her poem "Passer Mortuus Est"): "After all, my erstwhile dear, / My no longer cherished, / Need we say it was not love, / Just because it perished?"
