Root Explanation

Postcrisis → It is formed from "post-" (meaning after) and "crisis" (from Greek "krisis", meaning decision or turning point). The word "postcrisis" refers to the period or situation that occurs after a crisis or turning point.

Think of 'post-' meaning 'after' and 'crisis' as a significant turning point — so postcrisis refers to the time after a significant event.
