postscript
Significado: An additional remark added at the end of a letter, article, or book, after the main body has been completed.
Postscript (abbreviated P.S.) originally referred to a note added after the signature of a letter. In modern usage it extends to any afterthought or supplementary comment appended to a completed work or statement. Figuratively, it can describe a late addition to any sequence of events — the postscript to a career, a war, or a relationship. Common collocations include 'add a postscript,' 'as a postscript,' 'a brief postscript,' and 'the postscript to.'
