UK: bɪˈjɒnd | US: biˈɑːnd
prep. at or to the farther side of something; past a point in space or time
prep. outside the limits or scope of something
adv. at or to the farther side; in addition
The word "beyond" originates from Old English begeondan, combining be- (meaning "by" or "near") and geond (meaning "that place" or "yonder"). Over time, geond evolved into "yond," an archaic term for "that place." The fusion of these morphemes created the modern sense of "at or to the farther side," reflecting spatial or metaphorical transcendence. The word's logic lies in its literal progression from proximity (be-) to distance (yond).
