About
The word 稍后 is formed by combining two characters: 稍 (shāo), which carries the core meaning of "a little" or "slightly", and 后 (hòu), which means "after" or "later". When placed together, they create a composite meaning where 后 provides the primary concept of a subsequent time, and 稍 directly modifies it to indicate a short, indefinite, or slight delay, resulting in the combined sense of "a little later" or "after a short while".
