In Spanish, pasado mañana functions as both a noun and an adverb.

/paˌsado maˈɲana/

In many Spanish-speaking cultures, if someone says they will do something mañana, they might not actually mean 'tomorrow' but rather 'sometime soon'.
While pasado mañana refers to the day after tomorrow, the term anteayer is used for the day before yesterday. Spanish has a dedicated single word for that specific point in time, whereas English uses a phrase.
The word mañana is derived from the Latin word māne, which referred to the dawn. Over centuries, the concept of 'early morning' expanded to cover the entire following day.
