Beyondness

/bɪˈjɑndnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being beyond; transcendence or the condition of existing outside normal boundaries.

Etymology

From 'beyond' (Old English 'begeondan,' meaning on the other side) plus '-ness' (suffix creating abstract nouns), meaning the quality of existing beyond.

Kelly Says

'-ness' is the suffix that turns adjectives into abstract nouns—'beyondness' captures the elusive quality of things that can't quite be grasped or contained.
