What does the prefix 'post-' imply about time?

  1. Backward

  2. After

  3. Without

  4. Before

The correct answer is: After

The prefix 'post-' indicates a temporal relationship that signifies something occurring after a particular event or time. For example, in the word 'postwar,' it refers to the period that follows a war. This prefix is commonly used in various contexts to indicate that something comes subsequent to another event, emphasizing the progression through time. Understanding this prefix helps in identifying the chronological order of events or phases, reinforcing the concept that 'post-' specifically denotes an after-condition rather than a before or simultaneous one.
