Abstract
The emergence of the metaverse in society is followed by certain confusions, whereas the line between virtual reality and the metaverse remains unclear. Ironically, this has affected the development of the metaverse itself, focusing more on virtual reality while being one of its side components. This has led to the concept losing popularity compared to artificial intelligence technology. This research is a qualitative study that aims to explore the issues at the root of misconceptions and reconstruct the true meaning of the metaverse itself. This research indicates that the misconception already existed when the term was first used alongside virtual reality technology. The term "meta" refers to a higher reality, whereas the terms "digiverse" or "virtuverse" can be used, considering that the terms "digital" and "virtual" can refer to realities lower than the universe.
