aftadv.adj.

Brit.

/ɑːft/,

/aft/, U.S.

/æft/

Forms:

α. Old English æftan, Old English æften.

β. early Middle English 1500s–1600s afte, 1600s– aft.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian efta behind, Middle Dutch achten behind, Old Saxon aftan (only in alles at aftan last of all, at the very end, in an isolated attestation; Middle Low German achten , achtene behind, from behind), Old High German aftan from behind (chiefly in compounds; as simplex only in an isolated attestation, glossing classical Latin ā tergō from behind; Middle High German aften from behind, German regional (Bavaria, Austria) aften afterwards, subsequently, (Westphalia, Rhineland) achten , ächten behind, at the back), Old Icelandic aptan , aftan behind, from behind (Icelandic aftan ), Old Swedish aptan behind (Swedish regional atta , attå ), Gothic aftana from behind (Matthew 5:27, glossing ancient Greek ὄπισθεν behind), all reflecting a derivative formation (with a Germanic adverbial suffix also seen in outen adv.) < the Germanic base of Gothic afta behind, past (Philippians 3:14, glossing ancient Greek ὀπίσω backwards: see note), of uncertain and disputed origin: perhaps showing a suffixed form of the Indo-European base of ancient Greek ἐπί (and thus not identifiable with certainty as ultimately cognate with after adv., prep., and conj., but probably at least perceived as related from an early stage in the Germanic languages). With the β. forms compare Middle Dutch (rare) acht back (1350), behind, in the rear (first half of the 15th cent.; < achten ). Compare baft adv., baft prep., and (especially in nautical use) abaft adv. Compare also after adj., after adv., aftward adj., aftward adv.Gothic afta ‘behind, past’ was formerly considered a misreading of, or transmission error for, aftra ‘again, backwards’ (see after adv., prep., and conj.), but is securely attested in MS B of the Codex Argenteus. Moreover, the interpretation as transmission error for aftra is unlikely on semantic grounds. With Middle English on aft (see sense A. 2) compare abaft adv. Apparently unattested between the early 14th and late 16th centuries.
