You know that feeling of anticipation when you’re waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they’re there yet? This is the word for it.

L’esprit de l’escalier (French)
Literally, stairwell wit—a too-late retort thought of only after departure.

Literal translations tend to be more literal than that, and this flies in the face of the spirit of the article since the English version (stairwell wit) is actually more compact. Even more so when you consider that afterwit is an actual word that exists and has the same meaning.
