Earthless

/ˈɜːrθləs/ adjective

Definition

Without earth; not of the earth; spiritual or immaterial.

Etymology

From 'earth' plus the negative suffix '-less' (lacking or without). Implies transcendence from physical or material earthly concerns.

Kelly Says

Philosophers use 'earthless' to describe purely abstract or spiritual realms—yet it reveals an interesting bias in English where 'less' is often associated with loss, when transcendence might be considered abundance.
