ORIGINS AND ETYMOLOGY
Astro-English: from Astronese, the term transcension is used to denote “ascension upwards in many dimensions” so the attachment of the suffix -ism to this word brings about the formalisation of this concept into “a belief” and “a school of thought” that provides emphasis to this concept.
