meta (foldoc) | meta
/me't*/ or /may't*/ or (Commonwealth) /mee't*/ A
prefix meaning one level of description higher. If X is some
concept then meta-X is data about, or processes operating on,
X.
For example, a metasyntax is syntax for specifying syntax,
metalanguage is a language used to discuss language,
metadata is data about data, and meta-reasoning is
reasoning about reasoning.
This is difficult to explain briefly, but much hacker humour
turns on deliberate confusion between meta-levels.

meta (jargon) | meta
/me't@/, /may´t@/, /mee´t@/, pref.
[from analytic philosophy] One level of description up. A metasyntactic
variable is a variable in notation used to describe syntax, and
meta-language is language used to describe language. This is difficult to
explain briefly, but much hacker humor turns on deliberate confusion
between meta-levels. See hacker humor.
