Word origin
The word 'immaterial' originated from the Latin word 'immaterialis', which is a combination of 'in-' (not) and 'materia' (matter). It first appeared in English in the late 16th century with the meaning 'spiritual' or 'not consisting of matter'. Over time, it evolved to also mean 'not important' or 'insignificant'.
