Word Origin & Etymology
Formed in English from the adjective 'immaterial' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Immaterial' derives from Medieval Latin 'immaterialis', combining the negative prefix 'in-' (assimilated to 'im-') with 'materialis' ('of or belonging to matter'), from 'materia' ('matter, substance').
