() — (adverb) namely, that is; (adverb) immediately, at once (often in the pattern 一A即B 'as soon as A then B'); (adverb) even if, even though (used in formal concessive clauses)

Definizione

即 is a formal/literary adverb — 'immediately' in written 一A即B patterns (heavier than 立刻 or 当即), and 'namely/that is' before restating. The concessive sense 即便 is its own conjunction; 即 alone in that meaning is rare.
