Etymology of POSTNOUN

The word "postnoun" is a compound term comprising two parts: "post" and "noun".

1. "Post" derives from the Latin word "post" meaning "after" or "behind". It came into English via Old French and Middle English, maintaining a similar meaning.

2. "Noun" originates from the Latin word "nomen", which meant "name". It made its way into Old English as "nāma" and eventually evolved into "noun" in Middle English.

Therefore, "postnoun" can be understood as a term composed of "post" (after) and "noun" (name), indicating something that follows or comes after a noun.
