Preternatural

(重定向自Preternaturalism)
A Compleat Treatise of Preternatural Tumours (1678) by John Brown

The preternatural or praeternatural is that which appears outside or beside (Latin præter) the natural. It is "suspended between the mundane and the miraculous".

In theology, the term is often used to distinguish marvels or deceptive trickery, often attributed to witchcraft or demons, from the purely divine power of the genuinely supernatural to violate the laws of nature. In the early modern period the term was used by scientists to refer to abnormalities and strange phenomena of various kinds that seemed to depart from the norms of nature.
