fifth element
Beyond earth, water
The fifth element is a substance beyond the classical four elements of earth, water, air, and fire.
In ancient and medieval philosophy, this was the quintessence—the pure, ethereal material composing celestial bodies and pervading all nature.
Modern usage often invokes the concept loosely to mean an essential but elusive component: Love is the fifth element that holds everything together.
