In its most general sense, a '''cosmos''' is an orderly or harmonious system.  It originates from a Greek term κόσμος meaning "order, orderly arrangement, ornaments," and is the antithetical concept of [[chaos]]. Today the word is generally used as a synonym of the word "[[Universe]]" (considered in its orderly aspect). The words cosmetics and cosmetology originate from the same root. In Russian, the word cosmos simply means ''space''.
