Where this word comes from
Borrowed from either Middle Low German achter (“behind”) or Dutch achter (“behind”). Both forms continue Proto-West Germanic *aftar (“after, behind”), from Proto-Germanic *after (“after, behind”). Doublet of att and atter. Compare the parallel maritime borrowings Danish agter (“aft, astern”) and Swedish akter (“stern”), as well as inherited English after.
