1. 1不久、待會兒(古語/書面)

    Anon is an old way to say soon, or in a little while. Hundreds of years ago, English speakers said I will be with you anon the way we now say in a minute. You still meet it in Shakespeare, in church language, and in the set phrase ever and anon, which means now and then. Almost nobody uses it in ordinary talk today. If someone does, they are being playful or old-fashioned on purpose. Though actually, there is another anon that is just a short form of anonymous — as in posted by anon on a forum — but that is a different word that happens to look the same. This entry is the “soon” one. The written abbreviation anon. (with a full stop) is also “anonymous,” not “soon.”

From the word’s history

'Anonymous person' is a clipping of anonymous; 'soon' is from Old English on ān 'in one (moment)'.

「匿名者」截自 anonymous;「不久」源自古英文 on ān「在一」。

Wiktionary

組成From Middle English anoon, anon, anan, literally “in one (moment),” from on (“in”) + ān (“one”).
