The period of time following the evening meal, or activities undertaken after dinner.
Compound of 'after' and 'supper' (from Old French 'super' meaning soup/evening meal). Common in British English to describe the twilight hours after dining.
In Victorian society, the 'aftersupper' period was sacred social time—families would gather for conversation, music, or reading—basically the predecessor to our current 'evening relaxation time'!
