the.com/postseason

means The period of playoff games held after a sports league's regular season, where teams compete in a championship tournament.

from A transparent American compound of the prefix 'post-' (from Latin 'post,' meaning 'after') and 'season,' which itself came through Old French from Latin 'satio,' a 'sowing'—the time for planting, later any recurring stretch of the year. The sporting sense of 'season' as a span of organized play, and 'postseason' as the games trailing after it, grew up with professional baseball in late 19th- and early 20th-century America, when the schedule needed a word for the part that comes once the counting stops and the eliminating begins.
