English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "agterdaad" is die begrip of kennis wat 'n mens verkry oor 'n gebeurtenis nadat dit gebeur het of 'n aksie geneem is. Dit verwys na die vermoë om iets duidelik te sien en te verstaan eers nadat dit reeds plaasgevind het. Dit word dikwels gebruik in die frase "in terugskou," wat beteken dat iets nie op daardie tydstip sigbaar was nie, maar ná die tyd duidelik geword het. Terugblik word dikwels geassosieer met spyt of 'n gevoel van verspeelde geleenthede, aangesien dit frustrerend kan wees om eers na die tyd te besef wat anders gedoen kon word.
