I think it means "after this, therefore because of this", or something to that effect.

Coincidental Correlation
(post hoc ergo propter hoc )
Definition: The name in Latin means "after this therefore because of this".
This describes the fallacy. An author commits the fallacy when
it is assumed that because one thing follows another that the
one thing was caused by the other.
