Noun

kosmos (plural kosmoses or kosmoi)

  1. Archaic form of cosmos.
    • 1865, George Grote, “Speculative Philosophy in Greece, before and in the Time of Sokrates”, in Plato, and the Other Companions of Sokrates. , volume I, London: John Murray, , →OCLC, pages 6–7:
      It [the earth] was in the centre of the Kosmos; it remained stationary because of its equal distance from all parts of the outer revolving spheres; there was no cause determining it to move upward rather than downward or sideways, therefore it remained still. Its exhalations nourished the fire in the peripheral regions of the Kosmos.
    • 1874-1875, William Ewart Gladstone, The Church of England and Ritualism
      the spirit of Beauty was so profusely poured forth, that it seemed to fill the life and action of man as it fills the kingdoms of nature; the one, like the other, was in its way a Kosmos.
    • 1884 May 22, “Varieties”, in The Present Age. A Weekly Journal of Civilization., volume III, number 21 (whole 103), Chicago, Ill.: J. Fred Waggoner Company, page 289:
      An Atom and a Molecule were taking a drive one afternoon in the pænumbra of the Kosmos.
