Definition atone

Etymology

From atone (“reconciled”), from Middle English atone, attone, atoon (“agreed”, literally “at one”), equivalent to at +‎ one. Compare Latin ad?n? (“I unite, make one”) for the similar formation.

The word, along with only and alone, is markworthy for retaining the old pronunciation of one and once, not having undergone diphthongization, as it lacked a stressed vowel, which often becomes a diphthong.
