Etymology of YESTERNOON

The word "yesternoon" is derived from two Old English words: "yester" and "noon". "Yester" is a contraction of the Middle English phrase "ye ester", meaning "of yesterday". "Noon" refers to the midday or period around midday. Therefore, "yesternoon" literally means "the noon or midday of yesterday". Over time, the word has evolved to refer more generally to the afternoon or early evening of the previous day.
