Suggested translations: "(at) one time/occasion," "simultaneous"

This term can have a couple distinct meanings ("one occasion" or "same time") depending on how 一 is read ("one" or "same"), while 時 is a general term like English "time" for time or particular occasions in time.

In Buddhist translation, this expression became the standard way of translating Skt. ekaṃ-samayam.
