al ways |ˈôlˌwāz, -wēz ˈɔlˌweɪz |( archaic alway ) ▶adverb 1 at all times; on all occasions: the sun always rises in the east. • throughout a long period of the past: she had always been an obstinate sort. • for all future time; forever: she will always be missed. • repeatedly and annoyingly: she is always making derogatory remarks. 2 as a last resort; failing all else: if the marriage doesn't work out, we can always get divorced.
