Argonauts - Definition [ahr-guh-nawt, -not] (n.) Member of the band of men who sailed to Colchis with Jason in the ship Argo in search of the Golden Fleece Source: Dictionary.com

Basic Definition: An adventurer engaged in a quest, usually by sea.

Latin and Greek Roots: The word, "Argonaut" comes from the Latin and Greek, Argonautes. This word is broken down into Argo (the ship in which Jason's Argonauts sailed), and nautes (a sailor). Thus, Jason's sailors were adventurers engaged in the quest for the Golden Fleece. We can also consider the words "Astronaut" and "Aeronaut." Their definitions should now be obvious.
