短释义：
Add the Greek prefix “meta-” (beyond) to the base “physical” (nature), and you get metaphysical — a near synonym to the Latinate word “supernatural.” Both concern phenomena that are outside everyday experience or knowledge.
将希腊语前缀“meta-”（超越）添加到基础“物理”（自然），你就得到了形而上学——一个接近拉丁词“超自然”的同义词。两者都涉及日常经验或知识之外的现象。
长释义：
The adjective metaphysical entered the English language through Aristotle, whose Metaphysics is a collection of treatises that follows his Physics. Physics concerned natural philosophy, what we would call “science” today, while Metaphysics dealt with more abstract questions about the reality beyond what we perceive with our senses. Look at a physical object, say an apple. At what exact point did that apple come into existence? If you eat it, does it cease to exist, or does it still exist but in a changed way? These are metaphysical questions.
形容词 metaphysical 通过亚里士多德进入英语，他的 Metaphysics 是继他的 Physics 之后的论文集。物理学关注自然哲学，也就是我们今天所说的“科学”，而形而上学则处理关于现实的更抽象的问题，这些问题超出了我们用感官感知的范围。看一个物理对象，比如一个苹果。那个苹果究竟是在什么时候出现的？如果你吃了它，它会不复存在，还是仍然存在，但方式有所改变？这些是形而上学的问题。

词源：
metaphysical (adj.)early 15c., metaphisicalle, “pertaining to metaphysics,” from methaphesik (late 14c.) + -al, and in part from Medieval Latin metaphysicalis, from Medieval Latin metaphysica (see metaphysics). It came to be used more loosely in the sense of “abstract, speculative, apart from ordinary or practical modes of thought” (among others by Samuel Johnson, who applied it to certain 17c. poets, notably Donne and Cowley, who used “witty conceits” and abstruse imagery), and often had more or less a depreciative sense.

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
metaphysical (adj.)early 15c., metaphisicalle，“与形而上学有关”，来自 methaphesik（14 世纪晚期）+ -al，部分来自中世纪拉丁语 metaphysicalis，来自中世纪拉丁语 metaphysica（见 metaphysics）。它在“抽象的、推测的，与普通或实用的思维模式不同”的意义上被更宽松地使用（其中包括塞缪尔约翰逊，他将它应用于某些 17 世纪的诗人，特别是多恩和考利，他们使用“机智的自负”和深奥的意象），常常或多或少带有贬义的意味。相关：形而上学。相关条目及更多
