A peek into today's English riddle........👇🏽
(Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, O.F.M., known as *Ximenes* de Cisneros in his own lifetime, and commonly referred to today as simply Cisneros, was a Spanish cardinal, religious figure, and statesman. Wikipedia)
_(unto_ is an archaic or poetic term indicating until, to)
*Astronaut*
_An astronaut_
_is someone who travels in space. While the term was once reserved for military-trained professionals_ , _recent accessibility of space travel has seen the term_ _astronaut now used to refer to anyone traveling in a spacecraft, including civilians._
The word astronaut includes the root naut, from nautes, the Greek word for "sailor." This suffix can be used to create many travel-specific words. For example, the Argonauts were mythical Greek sailors on the ship named the Argo.
_Astronaut gets the astro from the Greek word astron_ , meaning " *star* ," making an astronaut a “ *star sailor* .” Russian space explorers took the title cosmonauts, with the cosmo part coming from the Greek for "universe," kosmos, so both have the same meaning.
🚀🚀🚀
_He may travel unto a star when catapulted! (9)_
_travel *unto a star_*
=star sailor
= anagram of *unto+ a +star*
*=astronaut*
*Astronaut* is catapulted into space! 🤩
Catapult can also be a verb that means "to hurl ,launch ,or shoot forward."
It's not only objects that catapult.
A hit single can catapult a band to great fame, for example, or a high score may catapult you into first place.
_Just don't catapult any cats. That would catapult you to notoriety, and probably also to jail._
