Mind screw right? That is preceisely what I was aiming for. From the etymological structure that I read, it's a contracted formation hence the apostrophe at the beginning of the word. The word itself is derived from the Greek, ἔπι (μετὰ τὰ φυσικά) (epi meta ta physika) which means "that which is above metaphysics".
