after a revolt
Etymology
'post-revolt' is formed from the prefix 'post-' (from Latin 'post', meaning 'after') and the noun 'revolt'.
'revolt' comes from Late Latin/Old French: Late Latin 'revoltere' / 'revoltare' (from Latin components re- 'back/again' + volvere 'to turn'), which passed into Old French as 'revolter' and Middle English as 'revolten'/'revolt', and later combined with the productive English prefix 'post-' to form 'post-revolt'.
The components originally conveyed 'turn back' or 'a turning away'; over time 'revolt' came to mean an uprising or rebellion, and 'post-revolt' has the transparent modern meaning 'after the revolt'.
