-nautcomb. form

Primary stress is retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element and vowels may be reduced accordingly; see e.g. cryonaut n.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Greek ναύτης, -ναύτης.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ναύτης sailor (also -ναύτης, combining form, in e.g. στρογγυλοναύτης merchant seaman; < ναῦς ship (see nave n.²) + -της, suffix forming agent nouns), after Argonaut n. and mesonaut n. Compare Middle French, French -naute (in e.g. argonaute, late 15th cent.; earliest in a native formation in aéronaute, late 18th cent.).The earliest loanwords with this element are Argonaut n. (16th cent.) and mesonaut n. (17th cent.), which probably contributed towards the adoption of aeronaut n. from French aéronaute and the formation of the humorous airgonaut n. (both late 18th cent.). On this model were formed astronaut n. and aquanaut n. (both late 19th cent.) and 20th-cent. formations such as cosmonaut n., lunarnaut n., and oceanaut n. Recent formations have tended towards the figurative, as responaut n. and cybernaut n.

Used to form a number of words with the sense ‘voyager, traveller’, with the first element defining the nature of the travel or experience.
