[Adverb] | "again" | \ ə-ˈgen \
1: another time : once more : anew
2: to a previous position or place
3: —used to introduce a statement that repeats and stresses something previously said
Origin: before 12th century ;
Middle English ayen, ayein, ayan, ageyn, again "back, in the opposite direction, to a former state, once more, another time," going back to Old English ongeagn, ongeæn, ongēan, ongān, ongegn, ongēn, agēn (Northumbrian ongægn, ongǣn), (compare parallel compounds in Old Saxon angegin "once more, toward," Old High German ingagan, ingegin "in opposition") from on-, a- {see: |on:1|on:1}, {see: |a-:1|a-:1} + -geagn (going back to Germanic *gagna-, whence Old High German gagan "towards, against," Old Norse gagn- "against, counter, through") or -gegn (going back to Germanic *gagni-, whence Old Saxon & Old High German gegin "against," Old Frisian jēn, Old Norse gegn) ;
* Note : It has been assumed that certain Old English forms, such as ongeagn, reflected an original *gagna-, and others, such as ongegn, an original *gegni-, though the evidence for the latter in Old English is not entirely clear. The rare instances of ongegn could represent "palatal monophthongization" of ongeagn, while ongēn would be a contraction of ongegn—this would leave only reflexes of *gagna- in Old English. Old English ongān (continued in Middle English ayan) apparently represents a monophthongization of ongēan after the crest of the diphthong had shifted forward. Middle English ayen, the most common southern form well into the 14th century, may be the outcome of either ongēan or ongēn. The form ayein would appear to directly continue ongegn. Originally northern again is presumed to have the velar /g/ from Old Norse i gegn. The shortened vowel in the usual pronunciation of again is probably due to against, where it was conditioned by the final consonant cluster. The origin of Germanic *gagna-, *gegni- (Gothic correspondent lacking) is obscure.;

1: That perpetual feeling... Never ending... Cyclical... It is the very breathing lifeline behind history, wherein history tends to repeat itself, again. Like that all too common remembrance of the times evaporated into the effortless mist of human experience we inscribe or cease to keep close, again is what makes us human. Again proves time happens, that everything is not just an invention. Again, it gives us hope, and drops us on our faces with the truth of humility when something happens, again.
