The time or days that come after the present moment, the future, or one's remaining days after a significant event.
From 'after' plus 'days' (from Old English dæg). A poetic or archaic term used in literature and philosophy to reference futurity or the remainder of life.
Medieval poets used 'afterdays' to express anxiety about what would happen after death—it's the same impulse that makes us obsessed with legacy and how we'll be remembered.
