Why this word is great
STARFARER — [Noun] A person who voyages between the stars. A compound of the English words 'star' (celestial body) and 'farer' (one who travels or goes, from Old English 'faran', meaning to journey). Unlike 'astronaut,' which denotes a technician of near space, or 'spacefarer,' a generalist for any travel beyond the atmosphere, a starfarer is defined by the specific, lonesome grandeur of the interstellar gulf. It is the creak of a hull cooled to three degrees above absolute zero, the solitary reading of light from a star that died before departure, and the quiet, inherited awe of a child born under the glow of an alien primary—a vocation whose true voyage is irrevocably out of time.
noun
- Someone who travels between stars.“In many ways, it was lucky for starfarers that the same basic DNA code and biochemistry had been found on placets all over the known galaxy, for it meant that habitable environments and edible foods were easy to find.”
