posterity (pos TER uh tee) In a limited sense, this noun refers to a person’s descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.). In a larger sense it is used for a general sense of “future generations.” (It derives from the Latin word for “coming after,” the same root that makes “posterior” an elegant way to refer to a person’s rear end.)
