ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the prefix astro- is used to denote “the astronomical world and its phenomena”, which is conjoined to the word theosis which is itself made up of the prefix theo- denoting God or divinity and the suffix -osis denoting “a state of being or condition”, altogether meaning “union with God by way of the astronomical world.”
