Extracosmic

/ˌɛkstrəˈkɑzmɪk/ adjective

Definition

Existing or originating outside the known universe or cosmos.

Etymology

From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'cosmic' (relating to the universe), from Greek 'kosmos' (order, universe). This philosophical term gained currency in the 19th century with debates about the nature and boundaries of the universe.

Kelly Says

Philosophers have wrestled with this word for centuries—if God or other dimensions exist 'extracosmic,' that means they're literally outside everything we can observe or measure, which is why it remains one of the most mind-bending concepts in metaphysics!
