Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the French word 'matinée', meaning 'morning', which stems from the Old French 'matin' (morning) and ultimately from the Latin 'matutinus' (of the morning). By the 19th century, the term shifted in English to denote a theatrical or musical performance held in the afternoon rather than the morning.
