Etymology
'post-educational' originates from the prefix 'post-' meaning 'after' and the word 'educational' derived from 'education', which comes from Latin 'educatio', meaning 'a bringing up, rearing'.
'educatio' transformed into the Old French word 'educacion', and eventually became the modern English word 'education'.
Initially, 'education' meant 'a bringing up or rearing', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction'.
