ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word epistemastry makes use of the word epistemology by turning it into a prefix epistem- to denote “knowledge” while the conjoined suffix -mastry is used to denote “a practice that is considered in the attainment of astrosis”, altogether meaning “one’s mastery of knowledge in the name of the attainment of astrosis.”
