A lingering sense, feeling, or mental impression that remains after an experience or encounter has ended.
Compound of 'after' (Old English æfter) and 'impression' (Old French, from Latin impressio meaning the action of pressing into). Developed in English to describe psychological residue from experiences.
Afterimpressions are the reason a scary movie stays with you for days or why meeting someone famous makes you replay the conversation in your head—your brain keeps processing the emotional weight even after it's over!
