单词 aftward
释义

aftwardadj.n.adv.

Brit. /ˈɑːftwəd/, /ˈaftwəd/, U.S. /ˈæftwərd/
Forms: Old English æftanweard, Old English æftewærd, Old English æfteward, Old English æfteweard, Old English æftewerd, Old English æftewyrd, 1500s– aftward.
Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Probably partly inherited from Germanic. Probably partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: aft adv., -ward suffix.
Etymology: A merging of two distinct words: (i) Old English æftanweard < æftan (see aft adv.) + -ward suffix; and (ii) Old English æfteweard < the Germanic base of Gothic afta (see aft adv. and adj.) + -ward suffix; ultimately representing parallel formations with different suffixation of the same first element; the two words had apparently already merged in sense in Old English. In later use probably partly re-formed < aft adv. + -ward suffix. Compare afterward adj., afterward adv.Apparently unattested between the Old English period and the early 16th cent.
