About
The word 随后 is formed by combining two characters whose core meanings logically sequence an action in time: 随 (suí), which carries the essential idea of "following along" or "in the wake of", is placed before 后 (hòu), which denotes "after" or "behind". Together, they create a conceptual blend where one event directly follows another in a chain, picturing something moving along right after a prior point, thus forming the integrated meaning of "following that" or "subsequently".
