Etymology
The phrase "la necessitat metafísica" comes from Catalan, where "necessitat" means 'need' or 'necessity,' and "metafísica" derives from Greek roots 'meta' (beyond) and 'physika' (physical things). Did you know? The term 'metaphysics' was coined because Aristotle's works on topics beyond the physical were placed after his physics writings, hence 'meta' meaning 'after' or 'beyond.'
