ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the term transcension is formed by the use of the prefix trans- denoting something “beyond” or “across” adjoined to the word ascension denoting “the act of rising upwards, either physically or figuratively”, altogether meaning “rising up to the astronomical world” which is regarded as an act key to salvation according to Astronist doctrine.
