Etymology
Hyperspatial comes from the prefix hyper- meaning 'over' or 'beyond', as in hyperactive, and space meaning 'area' or 'room'. So hyperspatial describes something 'beyond ordinary space', for example things that have more than the usual three dimensions or the 'hyperspace' often used in science fiction.
