Definición

  • Superstition is derived from the Latin superstes, meaning “to stand over.” Thus, the concept refers to the practice, based on belief, of standing over rationality of thought. In general, death superstitions have a negative connotation because these are based on unproven scientific validity. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Death Superstitions]
