Based on the Romance languages, it appears that in late spoken Latin (or so-called "Vulgar Latin"), the expression hāc hōrā eventually attained the status of an idiomatic phrase for "now, at this moment", and likewise illā hōrā was used with the sense "then" (as in French lors); however, written Latin texts do not attest to the univerbation of such expressions with hōra (hour; time; moment).[1]
