post-computation
Etymology
'after-calculation' originates from the combination of 'after' and 'calculation', where 'after' is derived from Old English 'æfter', meaning 'following in time', and 'calculation' is derived from Latin 'calculatio', meaning 'computation'.
'calculation' transformed from the Latin word 'calculatio' and eventually became the modern English word 'calculation'.
Initially, 'calculation' meant 'computation or reckoning', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
