Root Explanation

Hyperspace is formed from "hyper-" (meaning over or beyond) and "space" (from Latin "spatium", meaning area or extent). The term refers to a space that extends beyond the usual dimensions or limits.

Memory Tip

Think of 'hyper-' meaning 'beyond' and 'space' as an area — hyperspace refers to an area that goes beyond normal space.
