abaft (adv.): \\\"in or at the back part of a ship\\\" (opposed to forward), 1590s, from Middle English on baft (Old English on bæftan) \\\"backwards.\\\" The second component is itself a compound of be \\\"by\\\" (see by) and æftan \\\"aft\\\" (see aft). The word has been saved by the sailors (the stern being the \\\"after\\\" part of a vessel), the rest of the language having left it in Middle English.

1. Ships with square sails sail fairly efficiently with the wind abaft.: 装着横帆的船只随风疾驰.

2. Be careful the mule is a vicious beast, not safe abaft the beam.: 当心,骡子是一种险恶的畜牲, (站在)它后面不安全.

3. The huge bull caught him abaft the wheel - house and slammed him in the air.: 那头巨大的公牛抵住他的后腰将他抛到空中.
