Etymology
From dē (“from”) + post (“after”).
Preposition
dē post (+ accusative) (Late Latin, proscribed)
- after, behind
- 5th c. CE, Sergius (grammarian)
Nemo enim dicit de post' forum, nemo enim ab ante.- Nobody says 'de post the forum', nor 'ab ante it.
- 5th c. CE, Pompeius
Est talis regula, praepositio praepositioni non iungitur. Hoc dicunt, puta 'apud penes' non potes facere unam partem orationis. Item qui male loquuntur modo ita dicunt 'depost illum ambulat'.- There is a rule that a preposition is not joined to a preposition. By this they mean, for example, that you cannot make apud and penes into a single lexeme. So those who speak badly now say depost illum ambulat.
