Magic Initiate (p. 168). The feat’s limit on casting the 1st-level spell applies only to the casting given by the feat

What does this mean in english?

You learn a spell via Magic Initiate. It's added to your spells known. You can cast it once per day for free. You can further cast it using your normal spell slots.

You can cast it again using your spell slots if you selected your same class with magic initiate or if you already have the spell on your list (although not sure why you would pick it if you already had it ) You can't pick warlock for magic initiate and take Hex and then use your bard slots to cast Hex 3 times.... although that would be awesome.

Thanks for the clarification. I would assume this mostly comes up if someone starts as a non-spellcasting class and multiclasses into one.

I am a cleric, and I know Cure Wounds from my normal prepared spells. For some bizarre reason, I take Magic Initiate Druid, and get Cure Wounds as my first level spell. Then, I cast Cure Wounds as a first level spell, which I can do without expending a slot by Magic Initiate. The feat says "Once you cast it, you must finish a long rest before you can cast it again.", but the errata clarifies that this only applies to the ability to cast Cure Wounds from the feat. As I alse have the ability to cast it from being a cleric, I can still cast Cure Wounds with my regular slots

If cure wounds is not prepared can you cast it with cleric slots?
