"What AM and PM stands for?" asked one of my colleague at my workplace.
- AM stands for 'Ante Meridiem'
- PM stands for 'Post Meridiem'
The words 'Ante', 'Post' and 'Meridiem' are latin. And the meaning for the those are as follows:
- 'Ante' in latin means 'before' in english.
- 'Post' in latin means 'after' in english.
- 'Meridiem' in latin means 'noon' in english.
So 'Ante Meridiem' in latin means 'before noon' in english and 'Post Meridiem' in latin means 'after noon' in english.
