Where does the word matinee come from?

The word "matinee" comes from the French word "matin" which means "morning".

It was originally used in the 17th century to refer to a morning performance of a play, in contrast to an evening performance.

Over time, the term evolved to refer to any daytime performance, including those taking place in the afternoon.
