Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Compound of the Old English words 'æfternān' (afternoon) and the Germanic-derived 'show', which evolved from Old English 'scēawian' (to look at, behold). The combined term emerged in the 19th century with the rise of theatrical matinee performances and later expanded to include daytime television broadcasts.
