autopsy
의미: A post-mortem examination of a body to determine the cause of death, involving a thorough external and internal inspection by a pathologist.
Autopsy and post-mortem are used interchangeably in British English, though post-mortem is more common in everyday speech. Autopsy appears frequently in legal, medical, and forensic contexts. In coroners' courts, the autopsy report is a critical document. Figuratively, 'autopsy' is used in journalism and business to mean a detailed retrospective analysis — 'an autopsy of the failed merger' — though 'post-mortem' is more natural in this metaphorical sense in British English.
