manyfoldadv.

Brit.

/ˈmɛnɪfəʊld/, U.S.

/ˈmɛniˌfoʊld/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: many adj., -fold suffix.

Etymology: < many adj. + -fold suffix; compare manifold adv. 2, which is etymologically identical, the present word representing a re-formation after the etymology of manifold had become obscured by changes in pronunciation (compare note on form and pronunciation history s.v.).It is unclear whether quot. 1650 shows the present word or manifold adv. 2, although its being printed as two words in the 17th cent. probably makes the present interpretation more likely.

By many times.
