vestigiore
noun
The gentle yearning for an imagined world to tether itself to reality, like a whispered incantation that beckons shadow into light, each word a promise sewn into the tapestry of the possible.
Blends Latin 'vestigium' (footprint, trace) + Old French 'ohore' (honor), indicating an honored trace of the envisioned world. Pronounced "vess-TIH-gee-or"
