Etymology of METEMPTOSIS
"Metemptosis" is a term derived from the Greek language. It is a compound word consisting of the Greek prefixes "meta-" and "emptosis", combined with the suffix "-sis".
The prefix "meta-" in Greek means "after" or "beyond". It is often used to indicate a change, transformation, or something that goes beyond or surpasses.
The word "emptosis" comes from the Greek verb "empiptein", which means "to fall upon", "to invade", or "to seize". The term has its roots in medical terminology, specifically within ancient Greek humoral theory, where it referred to the invasion or disturbance of the body caused by external factors or diseases.
When combined, "meta-" and "emptosis" in "metemptosis" form a word that can be interpreted as a higher or more advanced stage of invasion or disturbance, going beyond the typical or ordinary.
