(Greek = after or after; Metalanguage.

Meta is an affix in the meta-universe, meaning "transcendence; All-inclusive; Deal with the most fundamental things ",that is," beyond, all-inclusive, the most essential things about things ".

The etymology of meta has an allusion: Meta comes from Greek, meaning "after, behind"; The meaning of Meta mentioned in the last paragraph in red font is actually a translation error of the ancients, which is a bit like a writer writing a typo and becoming a common word.

More than 200 years after Aristotle's death, another ancient Greek philosopher, Androni Kush, compiled his works into an integrated book. Andlau Knicks arranged these works according to his own ideas.

He put physika ("Physics"), which studies the concrete forms and other appearances of things, in front, and put the works on the essence, soul and free will of things behind, and named it meta physika, which is the volume after physics. Yes, the meta here means "after, behind" in Greek.

Interestingly, some misunderstandings occurred when Latin translators translated later. I probably think that the following volumes are profound in studying what is existence, nothingness, universe, soul and free will, so I translated meta physika into "the subject of studying the body".
