ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word necronism is formed through use of the prefix necro- which denotes death which, when conjoined with the suffix -ism comes to mean a belief, specifically a belief in the importance of the location of one’s death (cosmisation) and one’s state of mind and stellancy at this time as effecting one’s transtellation and cosmosis.
