What does APRES mean in Scrabble?
preposition
A French-derived word meaning after, used in English mainly as part of compound terms.
English borrowed apres directly from French, where it simply means after, and the word rarely stands alone in ordinary sentences. Instead, it appears fused into compounds such as apres-ski, the socializing and relaxing that happens once a day of skiing is over, or occasionally apres-dinner for the period following a meal. Because it arrives already carrying a slightly fashionable, continental flavor, marketers and travel writers reach for apres more often than plain after when describing leisure activities. Style guides differ on whether to keep the French accent over the e, and the accentless spelling apres is common in English text.
How APRES is used
Used almost entirely in compound expressions such as apres-ski rather than as a standalone word.
- The lodge advertised a lively apres crowd gathered around the fire.
- Their apres routine always started with hot chocolate and dry socks.
- The resort built its reputation on apres entertainment as much as its slopes.
- She preferred a quiet apres evening to the noisy bar scene.
- Locals filled the terrace for apres drinks as the lifts closed.
