abaft (adv.)

\"in or at the back part of a ship\" (opposed to forward), 1590s, from Middle English on baft (Old English on bæftan) \"backwards.\" The second component is itself a compound of be \"by\" (see by) and æftan \"aft\" (see aft). The word has been saved by the sailors (the stern being the \"after\" part of a vessel), the rest of the language having left it in Middle English.
