Morphology

aftermarket = market (transparent) = after + market

The compound 'after' + 'market' directly denotes a market that comes after the original sale, which learners can infer from the components. [Postprocessing: moved 'after' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Aftermarket comes from after 'after' and market 'place to buy or sell', meaning parts or accessories sold later than the original item and often made by other companies. So an aftermarket exhaust or wheel is a part sold after the car left the factory to replace or change the original part.
