    1: following in time or place : afterward, behind, later

    Origin: before 12th century ;

     Middle English after, efter, going back to Old English æfter, going back to Germanic *after- (whence Old Saxon & Old High German aftar "after, behind," Old Norse eptir, Gothic aptaro), perhaps from Indo-European *h1epi-, *h1opi- "on, at" + *-ter-, suffix of separation and distinctness {mat|epi-|};

      * Note : The initial element has alternatively been assigned to Indo-European *h2epo-, "(away) from" (see: {of:1|of:1}); cf. Sanskrit apataram, "farther off." In a Germanic context the forms may well have interacted with each other.;
