Morphology

aftermarket = market (transparent) = after + market

The noun is a straightforward compound meaning the market that exists after the original sale (e.g., for replacement parts). [Postprocessing: moved 'after' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Aftermarket comes from after 'after' and market 'place to buy or sell', and it names the market for replacement parts, accessories, or services sold after the original product. So the aftermarket is the place where people buy items to repair or personalise things they already own.
