"Nauts"

[Flinte]

Hey I was just wondering about all of the words with a "naut" ending. All I know is astronaut, psychonaut and oneironaut. All of the words with "naut" at the end are usually something cool so I was just wondering if there are any other words besides those three. If this should be in senseless banter feel free to move it.

Nautical

Actually, the ending "-naut" means "explorer.

Astronaut="star explorer"

I know what Naut actually means, I was just wondering all the words that end with naut.

The only other one I know is cosmonaut.

[TweaK]

Aquanaut (speaks for itself), argonaut (someone looking for something dangerous yet rewarding), aeronaut (air sailor), and obviously cosmonaut, oneironaut, astronaut, etc.

argonaut (someone looking for something dangerous yet rewarding)

Thanks Tweak. I have a new favorite word.

[Xaqaria]

Phenomenaut (http://www.phenomenauts.com/), Juggernaut (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/juggernaut), Argonaut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonauts)

"Naut" actually means sailor, thus its similarity to the english word, nautical. Astronaut is "Star Sailor".

Well that ruins my fun :(

Hey I just noticed you live 1 hour away from me Xaqaria. Cool.

Anyway, most of these -naut words are just lazy constructions. I'm very glad English isn't like German or Esperanto et al where you can stick a whole words together to make a new one. Sure, you can, but there are so many other ways to invent a word. I love this language :)

Alright thanks everyone. Actually right after I posted I found a list of all the nauts, but aeronaut wasn't on there, but that one is my favorite.

Actually, -naut means sailor. In most cases it's meant as explorer/goer (ie, space-goer, space-explorer - space-sailor) though.

So yeah, rectal-sailor. :roll:

Rectalnaut isn't that different from Asspirate.

I think I'm a little more than an hour away from the dream realm, but maybe you're right; I am getting tired.
