Question

posthumous adj.死后的；死后出版的；遗腹的 (1) 他去世以后，作品集就出版了。(2) 事实上，他是一个遗腹子。 The adjective posthumous comes from Latin — post means "after" and humare, "to bury." (You might also think of humus, which means "dirt" or "earth.") So something that is posthumous happens after a person is dead, like the posthumous discovery that your humble neighbor who lived very modestly was actually a multi-millionaire, or the posthumous publication of a book that the writer finished just before she died.
