A secondary spring or elastic force that occurs after the initial spring action, or the season following spring.
Compound of 'after' and 'spring' (from Old English 'springan'). Can refer either to mechanical recoil or to the period following the vernal season.
In engineering, afterspring describes the bounce-back motion—like how a pogo stick has that second upward thrust after hitting the ground—crucial for shock absorption in vehicles!
