Where this word comes from
From aften (“evening”) + mat (“food, meal”), with linking -s- (“interfix”), literally “evening food”. The linking element reflects the old genitive aftens of aften. This form was also lexicalized through the phrase til aftens (“for supper”) as a noun meaning “supper”. The first element aften (“evening”) was borrowed from Danish aften, from Old Danish aftæn, corresponding to Old Norse aptann (“evening”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *ēbanþs (“evening”). The second element mat (“food”) is inherited from Old Norse matr (“food”), from Proto-Germanic *matiz (“food”). Compare Danish aftensmad (“supper, dinner, evening meal”).
