Morphology

postentry = entry (transparent) = post + entry

The noun denotes an 'entry' made after an initial one, a direct result of adding 'post-'.

Etymology

Postentry comes from post- 'after' and entry 'a record or note', so it means a new entry added later, like a note you put in a log or diary after the first entry.
