[tree]

Diverging from my road trip (a detour perhaps), I’d like to post a tribute to tree.

Not to trees, but to @tree. Tree is the brightest tree in the forest with much wisdom about how to make friends and have fun.

Did you make that?

The Origin of 'Posthaste'​

If you didn't already know the etymology of posthaste, you might see the post at the beginning of the word and assume that it's functioning as a prefix meaning "after," the way it does in Latin words like postmortem, or in English words like postgame or postgraduate, or in movements of art or critical theory like postmodernism or post-structuralism.


Not quite. The post in posthaste has to do with the mail. In Middle English, post haste was a noun for the speed with which a person delivering mail was pressed to do their job.


In the 16th century, "haste, post, haste" was used to inform couriers (also called posts) that a letter was urgent. Post-haste later came to mean great promptness and speed for any purpose, and was used in phrases like in post-haste and in all post-haste.


In other words, the work of a courier was so routinely associated with speed and efficiency that it was used as a reference point in the language for others doing speedy labors. The notion caught on so quickly that post-haste was seeing use as an adjective and adverb by the end of the 16th century.
