wayback
Distant past times
Wayback refers to the distant past, often with nostalgic connotations: way back in the day, I remember him from way back.
The Wayback Machine is a digital archive that stores historical snapshots of websites, letting users see how pages looked years ago.
In station wagons and SUVs, the wayback is the rearmost cargo area, especially the rear-facing seat: The kids rode in the wayback.
