What does “a.m.” mean?

The term we associate with the morning, a.m., is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase ante merīdiem meaning “before midday.”

What does “p.m.” mean?

P.m. is an abbreviation of post merīdiem, meaning—you guessed it—“after midday.”

These two terms help keep ambiguity at bay in the 12-hour time system.
