An-ôth'er, a.

adjective

a. [From an, a, one, and other, q. v.] 1. Not the same; different. He winked, and turned his lips another way. Shak. 2. One more, in addition to a former number. Another yet?—a seventh? I'll see no more. Shak. 3. Any other; any different person, indefinitely; any one else. Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth. Prov. xxvii. 2. This word is often used without a noun, becoming a substitute for the name of a person or thing, as in the last example. It is also much used in opposition to one, as in the first and second passages cited. It is also frequently used with one, in a reciprocal sense; as, “love one another,” that is, let one love another.
