ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the word siderialism is formed by the use of the adjective sidereal to mean “distant stars” but is nonetheless broadened in the context of Astronism to relate to “the astronomical world” in a more general sense; conjoining this word with the suffix -ism to denote “a belief” comes to form a term that is broad enough to be used in various instances throughout Astronist terminology.
