ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY

Astro-English: in Astronese, the term theopsepharianism firstly uses the prefix theo- denoting “god” or “divinity” conjoined to the word psepharianism which is based on the word psephology that denotes “the study of voting or selection” which is itself attached to the suffixes -arian and -ism which relate to people and a belief respectively, meaning “a belief about god’s selection of people” or “a belief about divinely chosen persons.”
