Morphology
postexperimental = experimental (transparent) = post + experiment + al
The adjective is formed by straightforward prefixation: 'post-' (after) + 'experimental' (relating to experiments), so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Postexperimental breaks into post- meaning 'after', as in postwar, and experiment meaning 'a test' or 'trying new things', so it describes a style or movement that comes after and often responds to experimental methods.
