Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin adjective posthumus, an erroneous spelling of postumus meaning 'last-born' due to association with post humum ('after death', from humus meaning 'ground' or 'earth'). Historically, it shifted in meaning from describing a child born after the death of a father to any event, award, or publication occurring after a person's death.
