post scriptum (Latin)
Literally translated: after having been written
Commonly used back in the day when someone had finished a letter and needed to add something. Really surprised no one else knew this!

Post Script - an additional remark at the end of a letter, following the signature.

Post Script.When you are writing a letter it is easy to forget to add details of importance, so Post Script enables you to add information without having to Re - write the whole letter.

P.S. stands for post script. It used for a few notes after the main body of writing. I did not know that till now.

It means 'post script' or after writing. So when a letter is finished it's an afterthought or statement that needs attention.

post script, and you are right it is used to add a comment to the end of a letter.

P.S. means post script, post meaning after, script meaning the text. So, post script means after what you already wrote.
Fun Fact (well, opinion, sort of):
While most people would say P.S.S. after having one P.S., I think it would be more correct to say P.P.S., or post post script, meaning after the post script. :-)
