Archaic "once" (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erst

'archaic once' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for erst that I've seen before include "in former times" , "Rest turned formerly" , "in the past" , "At first; formerly" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily and the LA Times.
