Metaphysics, from the Greek meta "after" and physica "physics" is the name given to a part of Aristotle that immediately follows the part called "Physics." The word metaphysical literally means "referring to that part of Aristotle that follows the part called 'physics.'"

"Meta-" means beyond or transcending, and "physical" refers to the material world or things that can be perceived by the senses. So, the literal meaning of metaphysical is "beyond the physical," often referring to abstract concepts or philosophical ideas that exist beyond what is immediately observable.
