Existing or occurring before the creation of the world, relating to a pre-universal or pre-cosmic state.
From 'ante-' (before) + 'mundane' (from Latin 'mundanus' meaning worldly, from 'mundus' meaning world). Used in theological and philosophical discussions.
Medieval theologians used 'antemundane' to argue about God's nature before the Big Bang—it's language stretching to describe something literally beyond human comprehension, like trying to count before numbers were invented.
