oft-times

An archaic or literary adverb meaning 'often' or 'many times' — now only encountered in deliberately formal, poetic, or old-fashioned writing. In contemporary American English it occasionally appears in rhetorical or elevated prose, though it reads as self-consciously archaic. Elsewhere it is purely historical. Essentially interchangeable with 'often' but carrying a different register.
