The only move that teaches you anything worth learning twice.

means To stop having something, fail to win, or be unable to find it.

from From Old English losian, 'to perish, be destroyed,' and the related leosan, 'to lose, set free.' Both trace back to a Germanic root meaning 'to loosen' or 'come apart' — a cousin of the same ancient root behind 'loose' and 'loss.' At heart, to lose is simply to let something slip from your grip, whether it's a coin, a contest, or your way home.
