Gender. "Den" is masculine (-ý) and "odpoledne" is neuter (-é). See https://www.duolingo.com/skill/cs/Masculine
Maybe not be so common in speech but the written corpus has a decent amount. http://syd.korpus.cz/ClKCXa3i.syn

For etymology info;
Odpoledne is from three elements - od (preposition meaning after, past; cognate with English ed-, an old prefix that was replaced by French re-, like ednew = renew) + půl (half) + den (day, cognate with Old English 'tîn', which only survives in the word Lenten (Lent), from leng-tîn, long-tine or long-day).
So it literally means - 'past-half-day' or 'afternoon'.
