The established antonym for "meta" in programming language theory is "base". Etymologically, it would be "proto" (before) since meta=after.https://twitter.com/UINT_MIN/status/875062373236842496 …

"base class" is taken, though. "meta" really isn't "after" in the CS sense; see the linked paper in the StackOverflow answer.

In my thesis' terminology, meta/(generated) class would be ante/post classes. base/(inheriting) class would be hyper/hypo class.

I'm not sure we have the same definition of "metaclass". (Also, surprised you decided to change the well-established super/sub-class.)

As for metaclass, see AMOP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_the_Metaobject_Protocol … and the CL MOP http://mop.lisp.se/
