Portuguese term
mônoda
Portuguese to English
Art/Literary
Linguistics
"Do ponto para a expansão. Da mônoda para bilhões de galáxias."
This art criticism so it may not be literal. The imagery is sort of Big Bang. But I'd like to know what mônoda means. I have some idea about it being a spiritual principle but I really don't know.

Portuguese term (edited):
mônada
Selected
monad
It should have been "mônada", a philosophical concept.
"Monad (from Greek μονάς monas, "unit"; monos, "alone"),[2] which according to the Pythagoreans, was a term for God or the first being, or the totality of all beings. Monad being the source or the One meaning without division."

Good luck!
