means The latter part of the day and early part of the night, roughly from sunset toward bedtime.
from From Old English ǣfnung, the act of growing toward ǣfen ('evening'), which traces back to a Germanic root shared with German Abend. The same family gives us 'eve' and the abbreviated 'even,' as in 'eventide.' At heart it names a process, not a moment — the slow verb of day cooling into dark.
