Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from German Urozean, equivalent to ur- +‎ ocean.

Noun[edit]

ur-ocean (plural ur-oceans)

  1. A primordial ocean
    • 2009, Henning Genz, Nothingness: The Science Of Empty Space:
      This ur-ocean, however, to him is not one more god among others, as is Hesiod's and Homer's “deeply vortexed Okeanos”; for Thales this ocean is the one and only source from which the world springs, by condensation and evaporation.
  2. Panthalassa
