Postpast, which derives from the Latin post, meaning after, and pastus, meaning food, was current in English only during the seventeenth century, but the custom of the postpast persists to this day: in France a morsel of cheese is often served as the postpast, while in North America it commonly takes the form of a delicious, minty toothpick."}
