Cosmological metaphysics is a branch of philosophy which deals with the place of mankind in the universe. It attempts to understand and explain why everything came to be.
The word "metaphysics" just means "after physics," which is where the editors of Aristotle's writings placed his treatise on ontology. Ontology is the study of being qua being. So metaphysics is about the fundamental nature of reality (what-is). To be a philosopher is to be a lover of wisdom.

However, the word became enormously popular as the philosophy of Aristotle became popular in the Middle Ages and people started to imagine that the prefix "meta" had to do with the relation of the content of the Metaphysics, as opposed to that of the Physics and people started to use it to mean the overarching or underlying principles behind something (as the Metaphysics dealt with the underlying principles of Physics). Thus in newly-formed words like metacognition, the prefix is used to mean "underlying principles of".
