twice
On another occasion
Twice means two times.
It indicates repetition: I've seen that movie twice.
It also means double in degree or amount: twice as much, twice as fast.
The word appears in expressions emphasizing caution or reconsideration: think twice, once bitten, twice shy.
Lightning never strikes twice suggests rare events don't repeat.
