Understanding Postscriptum: Meaning and Usage

Postscriptum (postscript) is a Latin word that means "written after" or "added after." It is commonly used to indicate that something has been added as an afterthought or an additional comment, often in a footnote or an endnote.

For example, if you were writing a letter and wanted to add a final thought or comment, you might use the phrase "postscriptum" to indicate that the comment was added after the main body of the letter.

In modern usage, the term "postscript" is often shortened to "ps" or "P.S." and is used informally to add a quick note or comment at the end of an email, letter, or other written communication.
