Avatar What is it ?

The bandied about word Avatar bothers me so I took the trouble to look it up

And this is what I found

Concise Oxford dictionary:‐

avatar // n.

1 Hinduism the descent of a deity or released soul to earth in bodily form.

2 incarnation; manifestation.

3 a manifestation or phase.

[Sanskrit avatara ‘descent’, from ava ‘down’ + tar‐ ‘pass over’]

And then from Research:‐

Avatar

computing a movable three‐dimensional image that can be used to represent somebody in cyberspace, for example an Internet user

However I am an old sailor so they are called Jack Tars ( From the usage of Tar to seal the decks etc.)

So therefore my interpretation is :‐

Av ( Have) a Tar Meaning Get your self a sailor.

I prefer the latter. Well it’s only natural that I would isn’t it.
