I would love to see a usage note here: when would one prefer to use "quondam" rather than "former", "erstwhile", "sometime", or "once"? Are there subtle shades of meaning and/or common usage patterns among these choices?

There should also be the Latin entry here. Ummakynes (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
