The aftermath was originally the crop of new grass that springs up after a field has been mown in early summer. John Buchan (1874–1940), the Scottish writer of adventure stories such as The Thirty-Nine Steps, wrote about ‘Meadowland from which an aftermath of hay had lately been taken’. Math was an old word meaning ‘a mowing’. The modern meaning of aftermath developed in the 19th century.
