The word material comes from the Latin "materialis" which means "relative to matter" composed of "mater" which refers to "mother, matrix, prime, matter", plus the particle "ia" for "quality", and the suffix "To" which means "relative to", so therefore its meaning in general. Besides that its very etymology gives its own meaning to the word, several sources also expose the voice as that which is corresponding or belonging to matter as such, or to the substance that bodies make up; that is, that which shows particularities or physical characteristics. It should be noted that many people in different countries also use the word material as a synonym for component or ingredient.. So we can say that material is the tangible and concrete that opposes or is the opposite of the spiritual or the abstract.
