Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Modern Latin, combining the prefix 'post-' meaning 'after' and 'mortem', the accusative form of 'mors' meaning 'death'. Originally used exclusively in a medical context for an examination of a dead body, its usage expanded in late 20th-century business and project management to describe an analytical review held after a project's completion.
