Aft is a word commonly used when sailing to indicate near or around the stern of a boat or ship. It can also be used to indicate the tail of an aircraft.
Its the back. Fore is toward the front (forward) and aft is toward the rear. If something is running "fore and aft" is is parallel to the centerline of the ship. Like the line of masts in a multi-masted ship.
From the German word verklemmt = to be emotionally inhibited ie:all choked up I've normally seen it used as you would use 'confused'.
bounded (circle). In Greek 'horizon' was originally used to mean "bounding earth" with the property that it was parallel with the earth. Later, the Earth was normally thought to be flat: thus, 'horizontal' came to mean parallel to the earth.

A word that means an alternate word, with the same definition is a synonym. Comment: Just for information, I live in England. We don't normally use the word "alternate" to mean "a possible choice between things". We use the word "alternative". When I joined "Answers" it took me a couple of minutes to figure out what "Edit alternates" meant.
