一度

• 拼音: yī dù
• 汉字拆解: 一 = single horizontal stroke (one); 度 = 广 + 廿 + 又 (shelter/roof + twenty + hand — originally measuring length by hand spans, extended to degree/measure/occasion/time)

含义

At one point; once; for a time. Used to indicate that something was the case during a specific past period, implying the situation has since changed.

Functions as a temporal adverb. It marks a past state or condition that no longer holds, adding a retrospective, often reflective or ironic tone. Contrasted with 曾经 (which simply means 'once/in the past') — 一度 more specifically emphasises the temporary or transitional nature of the past state.
