meta
Meta (from the Greek preposition and prefix ''meta-'' (μετά-) meaning "after", or "beyond") is a prefix used in English to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to complete or add to the latter.
==Original Greek meaning==
In Greek, the prefix ''meta-'' is generally less esoteric than in English; Greek ''meta-'' is equivalent to the Latin words ''post-'' or ''ad-''. The use of the prefix in this sense occurs occasionally in scientific English terms derived from Greek. For example: the term ''Metatheria'' (the name for the clade of marsupial mammals) uses the prefix ''meta-'' merely in the sense that the ''Metatheria'' occur on the tree of life adjacent to the ''Theria'' (the placental mammals).
