enhypostasia

noun
/ɛnˌhaɪ.pəˈsteɪ.sɪ.ə/UK/ɛnˌhaɪ.pəˈsteɪ.ʒi.ə/US

Etymology

Borrowed from Ecclesiastical Latin enhypostasia, from Ancient Greek ἐν (en, “in”) + ὑπόστασις (hupóstasis, “existence; essence; substance”) + -ία (-ía, suffix forming nouns). ὑπόστασις is in turn derived from ῠ̔πο- (hŭpo-, “below, under”) + στάσις (stásis, “standing”). Compare Ancient Greek ἐνυπόστατος (enupóstatos, “substantial”). The word is analysable as en- + hypostasis + -ia.

  1. derived from ἐν
