Transcend.

Trans Am

You probably could guess it… from the word transfer.
TRANS….. is from Latin transmittere…. which means “send across, transfer, pass on,”

And there you have it, right across the board.
Transact.  Transcend.  Transcribe.  Transmute.  Transfigure.  Transform.  Transgress.  Transition.  Translate.  Transmit.  Transport ….and on and on and on.

Now it is time for me to find out all I can about Transcendentalism….. which was… and is…   that idealistic philosophical and social movement that developed in New England around 1836.  It developed in reaction to rationalism.

It had many influences… which included romanticism, Platonism, and Kantian philosophy.  It is kind of cool in the fact that it explored the notion that divinity pervades all nature and humanity.
Way back when…. in those early days….  its members held progressive views on feminism and communal living.  Dudes like  Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were central figures.  Now that is transonic… if I’ve ever heard anything.
