antemeridian
Prior to midday
Antemeridian means before noon, belonging to the morning hours.
The word is the formal source of the abbreviation a.m. in time notation.
It contrasts with postmeridian (p.m.), which designates afternoon and evening hours.
The term appears mainly in technical or formal contexts; in everyday speech, people simply say morning or use a.m.
