ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word cosmic is used to relate to the astronomical world and the word cessation is used to denote “an end”, therefore resulting in the meaning “the end of one’s cosmic reality”, though not to be confused with the end of The Cosmos itself (which is called ceaseria); cosmic cessation can be understood as the end of The Cosmos for the individual.
