How is 今一度 a noun in Japanese/English?


I came across the bolded segment in the following sentence and translated it
as "once more".

> だが私としては、彼には **今一度** 実りある人生を歩むチャンスを与えてやりたい。

Both [Jishio.org](https://jisho.org/search/%E4%BB%8A%E4%B8%80%E5%BA%A6), and
[tanoshiijapanese.com](https://www.tanoshiijapanese.com/dictionary/entry_details.cfm?entry_id=27580&j=%E4%BB%8A%E4%B8%80%E5%BA%A6)
say that 今一度 is a noun, while I think that the phrase "once more" is not a
noun in English.

How is 今一度 a noun in Japanese? Is the English translation also a noun,
according to the dictionaries cited above?




According to the entry for
[今一度](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E4%BB%8A%E4%B8%80%E5%BA%A6) in the
Japanese dictionary Weblio:

> もう一度。もう一回。特に、「もう一度」というのを強調したり、堅苦しく表現する場合などに、使われる言い回し。
>
> もう一度. もう一回. A phrase that can be used specially when emphasising or
> expressing もう一度 in a more formal way.

it is a synonym of もう一度 and もう一回, which are both listed as "Expression" rather
than "Noun" at jisho.org. Therefore, I think that the Noun tag for 今一度 is
plain wrong there.

IMHO, the three expressions can be considered adverbs or adverbial phrases.
