    Oh, dear. ‘Nonce’ definitely IS a word but it doesn’t mean ‘less than once’. A nonce is a sex offender.

    I’d never heard of the word ‘nonce’. Never.

    I heard it used in the phrase “for the nonce”. Probably old English.

    He’ll “never” get the answer.

    In computers, a nonce is a number used once and only once. Not less than once.

    It is archaic but like the word moot (as in the point is moot) or deserts (as in “just deserts” – sounds like desserts but spelled like deserts) it does live on in one phrase and one phrase only – “for the nonce” as Ubintold said.

    And sometimes return, like the line in Born Yesterday, “You have no couth.”
