Before, once (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'before once' is the definition.
(archaic word for 'before')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ere that I've seen before include "Archaic word for before - a palindrome" , "Old word for before" , "Before (lit.)" , "Before, poetically" , "Before (literary)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the LA Times.
