Etymology
După comes from the Latin phrase de post, a combination of de (from) and post (after, behind). This same Latin phrase gave rise to similar words in other Romance languages. Over centuries the two Latin words fused into one Romanian preposition with the meaning of both time (after) and manner (according to).
