   • Suprasensible / Supersensible: That which exists beyond or is independent of the senses and sensory perception.

Advanced Usage

• The term is primarily used in academic, philosophical, and metaphysical discussions to contrast with the empirical, physical world ("thế giới cảm tính" - the sensible world).
