Volander

Volander

n.
the ethereal feeling of looking down at the world through an airplane window, able to catch a glimpse of far-flung places you’d never see in person, free to let your mind wander, trying to imagine what they must feel like down on the ground—the closest you’ll ever get to an objective point of view.

Latin volare, to fly + solander, a book-shaped box for storing maps. Pronounced “voh-land-uhr.”
