It comes from the word metagame, i.e. the game beyond the game. I think it originally comes from game theory (the field of mathematics), later it began to be used in both game development and game playing (with slightly different meanings).
Eureka! Now Iโm definitely familiar with that concept as a part of game design theory, I just havenโt heard that term before.
This is exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you.
