The word “posthumous” is pronounced as “PAH-st(h)yuh-muhs”. It is an adjective that means “occurring, published, or produced after the death of the person to whom it is attributed”.
The word is often used to describe works of art, literature, or music that are released after the artist’s death. For example, the novel “The Silmarillion” by J.R.R. Tolkien was published posthumously in 1977, four years after his death.
