amain \uh-MEYN\ adverb 1. Archaic. with full force. 2. Archaic. at full speed. Quotes So, grasping the rough protuberances of the rock, he tugged and toiled amain, and got himself quite out of breath, without being able to stir the heavy stone. -- Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Minotaur," Tanglewood Tales for Girls and Boys, 1853 Origin Amain entered English in the mid-1500s as a combination of a- and main, which in turn comes from the Old English mægen meaning "power, strength."
