mortem
In medical and legal contexts, this term is almost exclusively used as an adjective to describe procedures performed on a corpse. It carries a clinical, sterile tone and is frequently paired with "examination" or "analysis" to denote a formal autopsy.
In modern corporate and technical environments, the term has been adopted as a noun to describe a "post-mortem" meeting. In this professional register, it functions as a metaphor for the "death" of a project, focusing on failure analysis and process improvement rather than biological death.
