Origin of Phrases - A
Aftermath
Originates as an old farming term that figuratively meant later effects of double cutting crops. As a term no longer in use, "math" meant a mowing or the product of a mowing, usually hay. Aftermath was viewed as a mowing after the first crop had already been cut, which led to the field taking longer to regenerate itself - the consequence of double cutting.
