English

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.
