Etymology

The French noun **astronaute** is a direct borrowing from the English *astronaut* (mid‑20th century), itself coined from the Greek *ἄστρον* (star) + *ναῦτης* (sailor). It entered French in the 1960s to describe space travelers, keeping the original sense of “sailor of the stars.” The word reflects the fusion of classical roots with modern space terminology.
