Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'απόγευμα' meaning 'afternoon' is derived from the prefix 'από-' meaning 'after' and 'γεύμα' meaning 'meal'. The word 'γεύμα' itself comes from Ancient Greek 'γεῦμα', which means 'taste' or 'meal'. The term 'απόγευμα' thus literally translates to 'after meal', referring to the time of day following the midday meal.
