How it's used
Literary in nature, this term is almost exclusively used in formal writing or academic discussions regarding books and manuscripts. It refers specifically to the commentary or concluding remarks added after the main text, distinct from a preface which appears at the beginning. You will rarely hear this word used in casual daily conversation.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the verb 跋涉, which means to travel over land or trek, as the character 跋 carries very different meanings depending on the context of the compound.
