    Meta can't be used as a suffix. It can be used as a prefix, where it means beyond, either in a literal or a metaphorical sense. An example of the literal use is metacarpal, which is one of the bones beyond the carpal bones of the wrist. An example of a metaphorical use is in the term metadata, which is data beyond the physical data (ie information about the data)

    The term "meta" means after or beyond".

    The word meta means information about.

    "meta" derives from ancient Greek. It is a preposition and can have various meanings.

    META tags with an HTTP-EQUIV attribute are equivalent to HTTP headers. Typically, they control the action of browsers, and may be used to refine the information provided by the actual headers. Tags using this form should have an equivalent effect when specified as an HTTP header, and in some servers may be translated to actual HTTP headers automatically or by a pre-processing tool.
