Contrary to the laws of nature or physics; unnatural or impossible.
From Greek anti- (against) + physica (natural things, nature). Physica comes from physis (nature), making this word literally mean 'against nature.'
This word is a philosophical heavyweight—medieval scholars used it to describe miracles and impossible feats, arguing they were 'antiphysic' events that broke natural law. It shows how deeply people have always puzzled over exceptions to nature's rules.
