      "Nauts"

      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"
      "do what you wish"

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

      Phenomenaut, Juggernaut, Argonaut

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

      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.

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

      One of Black Sabbath's best songs is titled "Supernaut".

      Just north of Rutland. Looks like you are not too far away either.
