After

After
After Aft"er, adv. Subsequently in time or place; behind; afterward; as, he follows after. [1913 Webster]

It was about the space of three hours after. --Acts. v. 7. [1913 Webster]

Note: After is prefixed to many words, forming compounds, but retaining its usual signification. The prefix may be adverbial, prepositional, or adjectival; as in after- described, after-dinner, after-part. The hyphen is sometimes needlessly used to connect the adjective after with its noun. See {Note} under {After}, a., 1. [1913 Webster]
