I have a friend who told me that I should start using that word! I haven't found an appropriate context for it yet, besides "I need to find a reason to use the word 'thrice'".

What comes after Once, Twice, Thrice?
Nothing. I'm afraid. These three are the only words of their type and no further terms in the series have ever existed (the suggestion of quince for five times is picturesque but no more!). Presumably the language has not felt the lack of them.

Is an old word in my vocabulary, however it does not see the light of day much, as I often need to explain it's etymology. I am saddened by this.
