3. Archaic. at once; immediately.
Idioms
4. ever and anon, now and then; occasionally.
I don't think I've ever read this word except in older writings/books and I certainly don't hear it used in speech; people say "Now!" or "PDQ" or as another definition: "Later, dude."
Anon is not to be confused with anonymous, meaning of unknown name; whose name is withheld ... although when someone posts an inflammatory comment in a forum or message board, anonymous people show up and fan the flames anon.
