[edit] Etymology

But what is the etymology? Epi- is a common suffix. --Error 23:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

As a suffix it's pretty rare ;). As a prefix it may mean "on, over, at, in, against". For me the translation "supersubstantial" is quite tempting, but it should be noted that epi does not denote separation. L'omo del batocio (talk) 10:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
