Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin supersubstantialis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin supersubstantialis surpassing all other substance (Vulgate: see note) < super- super- prefix + substantialis substantial adj. Compare Middle French supersubstanciel (mid 14th cent., rare), Italian soprassostanziale (14th cent.). Compare superessential adj. With sense 2 compare also transubstantial adj.Post-classical Latin supersubstantialis in the Vulgate version of the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:11) translates Hellenistic Greek ἐπιούσιος (apparently earliest in this passage), which is now generally held to mean ‘relating to the coming day’ (probably a derivative < the present participial stem of ἔπειναι to approach < ἐπι epi- prefix + εἴναι to be: see be v.), apparently reinterpreted as deriving from the related, but more specialized noun οὐσία being, substance (see ousia n.); compare the note at substance n. In the corresponding passage in Luke (11:3), the Vulgate translates Hellenistic Greek ἐπιούσιος into Latin as cotidianus daily (see quotidian adj.). Compare early translations of the Latin text of Matthew into English:OE (Northumbrian) Lindisf. Gospels: Matt. vi. 11 Panem nostrum supersubstantiale da nobis hodie: hlaf userne oferwistlic [OE Rushw. dæghwæmlicu uel instondenlice, OE West Saxon Gospels: Corpus Cambr. gedæghwamlican] sel us todæg. ▸ c1384 Bible (Wycliffite, E.V.) (Douce 369(2)) (1850) Matt. vi. 11 Oure breed ouer other substaunce. Other post-classical Latin writers (e.g. Ambrose, 4th cent.) use supersubstantialis with reference to the Eucharist (compare sense 2), originally with allusion to the Lord's Prayer. With sense 1 compare Byzantine Greek ὑπερούσιος transcending substance or being, used of God (also as noun, ὑπερουσία ; compare quot. 1911 for supersubstantiality n. at Derivatives).
