means The existence or state believed to follow death, whether as heaven, reincarnation, an underworld, or some other continuation of the self.

from A transparent English compound of "after" and "life" — literally the life that comes after this one. "After" descends from Old English æfter (behind, following), and "life" from Old English līf. The pairing is fairly modern as a fixed noun; older English preferred phrases like "life to come" or "life hereafter," with "afterlife" originally meaning simply "a later part of one's life" before it drifted to mean the life beyond death.
