Etymology

The origin is uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *postor-, from *pos (“by, about, around, beside”), and cognate with Latin posterus. Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *sterh₃- (“to spread”). Has also been compared to Ancient Greek ὕστερος (hústeros).

Usage notes

The Hellenizing School used this post-classically as a prefix corresponding to Ancient Greek ὑπο- (hupo-) and κατα- (kata-), e.g. ստորագրեմ (storagrem) = ὑπογράφω (hupográphō), ստորասեմ (storasem) = κατάφημι (katáphēmi).
