Word origin

The term p.m. comes from Latin and stands for post meridiem, which translates to 'after midday' or 'after noon'. The use of a.m. and p.m. to indicate time of day can be traced back to the ancient Romans, who divided the day into 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. The concept of using a.m. and p.m. has continued through the centuries and is now a common way to express time in the modern world.
