Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From dē (“from”) + post (“after”).
Preposition[edit]
dē post (+ accusative) (Late Latin, proscribed)
- after, behind
- 5th c. CE, Sergius (grammarian)[1]
- Nemo enim dicit de post' forum, nemo enim ab ante.
- Nobody [who speaks correctly] says 'de post the forum', nor 'ab ante it.
- 5th c. CE, Pompeius[2]
- Est talis regula, praepositio praepositioni non iungitur. Hoc dicunt, puta 'apud penes' non potes facere unam partem orationis. Item qui male loquuntur modo ita dicunt 'depost illum ambulat'.
- There is a rule that a preposition is not joined to a preposition. By this they mean, for example, that you cannot make apud and penes into a single lexeme. So those who speak badly now say depost illum ambulat.
- 5th c. CE, Sergius (grammarian)[1]
