An obsolete or poetic form meaning 'at one' or expressing unity; a variant of 'anone' or expressing agreement.
From Old English on āne (at one), combining ā- prefix with ane (one). The form reflects Middle English attempts to express oneness or agreement.
Ancient English used 'awane' to express togetherness—it's related to why we still say 'at one with' something, preserving this medieval idea that unity and agreement are literally being 'at one.'
