/ˈɑːftəwəd/,

/ˈaftəwəd/, U.S.

/ˈæftərwərd/

Forms: Old English æfterweard, Old English æfterwearð (perhaps transmission error), Old English æfterwerd, early Middle English affterrwarrd ( Ormulum), Middle English affterward, Middle English afftewarde, Middle English afftyrward, Middle English afterword, Middle English aftirward, Middle English aftirwarde, Middle English aftirwared, Middle English aftreward, Middle English afturward, Middle English afturwarde, Middle English aftyrward, Middle English efterward, Middle English efterwart, Middle English–1500s afterwart, Middle English–1600s afterwarde, Middle English– afterward, 1500s afterwerde; also Scottish pre-1700 efftyrwart, pre-1700 efteruart, pre-1700 efterwart, pre-1700 eftiruart, pre-1700 eftirwart, pre-1700 eftyrwart.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: after adv., -ward suffix.

Etymology: < after adv. + -ward suffix. The word is found in Old English as adverb, adjective, and preposition. Compare Middle Dutch achterwaert , achterwert , adverb (with reference to both place and time; Dutch achterwaart , now rare), Middle Low German achterwārt , achterwērt , achterwōrt , adverb (with reference to place), Old High German afterwart , adverb and adjective, afterwert , adverb (all with reference to place; Middle High German afterwërt , early modern German achterwärt ). Compare also the Old English adjectives æfteweard (with reference to place, time, and order) and æftanweard (with reference to place): see aftward adj., n., and adv. Compare also later afterwards adv.In early use as adjective perhaps < Old English æfteweard aftward adj., with alteration of the first element after afterward adv., after adv. Earlier currency of the adverb in sense A. 2 or of the adjective in sense C. 3 is probably implied by Old English æfterweardnes posterity; compare:eOE Cleopatra Gloss. in W. G. Stryker Lat.-Old Eng. Gloss. in MS Cotton Cleopatra A.III (Ph.D. diss., Stanford Univ.) (1951) 350 Posteritatem, æfterweardnesse. With use as noun compare earlier aftward n.
