Supernatural

What the Western mind calls supernatural is entirely natural. For natural derives from Latin nasci ‘to be born’, from PIE root gene- ‘give birth, beget’, root of genesis. And everything new that is born in the world of form emerges from the Divine Origin of the Universe through the creative power of Life.

Etymology

Probably before 1425 supernaturel, from Medieval Latin supernaturalis ‘over and above nature, Divine’, probably coined by Thomas Aquinas, from Latin super ‘over, above’, from PIE base *uper- ‘over’, and natura ‘nature’, from PIE base *genə-.
