Definition of conaster :.

(kə-năs'tər)

  1. 1. (n.) Literally: with star, antonym to disaster. The fortunate outcome of an almost imminent disaster; the sensation of a catastrophe narrowly averted and later remembered from the vantage point of safety.

    Origins: From Latin cum, with, and Greek astron, star.

    Examples:
    There were several conasters in my life that I cannot recall without thanking God for his undeserved mercy.

    You were born under a lucky star. This conaster is an amazing mixture of chance and miracle.
