Etymology: Unadapted borrowing from Latin ad īnfīnītum (“to infinity”).

  1. Endlessly; for ever; never-endingly.

    The idea of eternal return is a mysterious one, and Nietzsche has often perplexed other philosophers with it: to think that everything recurs as we once experienced it, and that the recurrence itself recurs ad infinitum!
