ofttimes

Ofttimes is an adverb that means "often" or "frequently." It is derived from the Old English word "oft," which means "often" or "frequently," and the suffix "-times," which means "times." The term is used to describe actions or events that occur regularly or repeatedly. For example, "She ofttimes visits her grandmother" means that she visits her grandmother frequently. The adverb is less commonly used in modern English compared to "often," but it can still be found in literary and formal contexts. Its usage can add a touch of formality or archaic flavor to writing.
