nonmaterial

/nˌɑnmətˈɪɹiəl/ adj

Not material; apart from matter

Word Origin Material from Latin materia 'matter, substance' — the stuff things are made of. Non- 'not' makes it nonmaterial: not consisting of matter. Materia is related to mater 'mother' (PIE *méh₂tēr), the source of material. The same root gives us matter, maternal, matrix. Nonmaterial is often used in philosophical contexts, like nonmaterial reality.
