axtaršenâsi-ye nâvrâni
Fr.: astronomie nautique  

Same as → nautical astronomy.

Etymology (EN): Navigational, adj. of navigation, from L. navigationem (nom. navigatio), from navigatus, p.p. of navigare “to sail, steer a ship,” from navis “ship,” cognate with Pers. nâv “ship,” as below, + root of agere “to drive,” → act; → astronomy.

Etymology (PE): Axtaršenâsi→ astronomy; nâvrâni “navigation,” from nâv “ship;” O.Pers./Av. *nāv-, O.Pers. nāviyā- “fleet;” cf. Skt. nau-, nava- “ship, boat” + râni verbal noun of rândan “to drive, to cause to go,” causative of raftan “to go, walk, proceed” (present tense stem row-, Mid.Pers. raftan, raw-, Proto-Iranian *rab/f- “to go; to attack”).
