Hi,
According to the Royal Spanish Academy (www.rae.es), the most
important institution devoted to the Spanish Language, "después" is
etymologically derived from the Latin prepositions "de" and "ex",
and the adverb "post".
However, according to the Vox Dictionary
(www.diccinarios.com), "después" was previously "depués", derived
from Lating "de" + "post". It acquired later the "s" by a crossing
with the word "desque".
By the way: In Aingeljã, it is said "depwi", without "s" ;-)
Bye!
Aingel.

VL original was supposedly depost or depositus giving French depuis,
Portuguese depois, Italian dopo and Rumanian dupa. Only Spanish
has this extra "s". Is there any identifiable historical reason or
was it just Spanish whimsy.
