Definition
Coming from or belonging to regions beyond Earth; otherworldly or extraterrestrial.
Etymology
From 'extra-' (outside) + 'terrene' (from Latin terrena, earthly things). This poetic and archaic variant appeared in 18th-19th century literature alongside the more common 'extraterrestrial.'
Kelly Says
This is the fancy, old-fashioned way to say 'alien'—Shakespeare-era scholars would've used this to describe something not of this earthly realm, making it sound mysterious and grand.
