'cosmist' originates from the word 'cosmos,' which comes from the Greek word 'kosmos,' meaning 'order' or 'world.'

'cosmos' transformed from the Greek word 'kosmos' and eventually became the modern English word 'cosmos,' leading to the derivative 'cosmist.'

Initially, 'kosmos' meant 'order' or 'world,' but over time it evolved to refer to the universe as a whole, leading to the concept of cosmism.
