Definition
On successive nights or every night; nightly.
Etymology
From 'anight' with the addition of the plural or frequentative '-s' suffix, suggesting repeated occurrences at night. This form emphasizes regularity or habituality in Middle English and Early Modern English usage.
Kelly Says
The '-s' ending here doesn't make a plural noun but instead marks repetition or habit—similar to how 'always' contains an 's' that means 'all ways' (repeatedly in all manner)—showing how English grammar has shifted dramatically over centuries.
