==English== ===Etymology=== From [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ursus#Latin ''ursus''] (“bear”) + [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vector#Latin ''vector''] (“carrier, bearer”). ===Noun=== '''ursovector''' (plural '''ursovectors''') # A person or thing that carries a bear; one who bears a bear. #: ''Examples:'' #* The circus handler, an experienced ''ursovector'', guided the trained bear into the transport cage. #* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Hall Eddie Hall], an aura-farming ''ursovector'', hoisted a bear over his shoulders and trudged onward. # By extension, an agent or carrier associated with bears. #: ''Examples:'' #* The wildlife biologist became an ''ursovector'', tagging and transporting data about bear populations across the region. #* In the meme economy, that account is a pure ''ursovector'', spreading bear content to every corner of the internet. #* The shipping crate functioned as an ''ursovector'', safely conveying the sedated animal to the sanctuary. #* Tourists with bear spray and tall tales quickly become ''ursovectors'' of wilderness anxiety. ===Usage notes=== The neologism uses the Latin noun ''vector'' (“carrier”), which in English commonly appears in technical contexts (e.g., mathematics, physics) to denote a quantity with magnitude and direction. The term ''ursovector'' maladroitly literalizes the “carrier” sense. * [https://qr.ae/pF7Reh Coined by Ron Davis on Quora in Response to MoribundMurdoch's attempt at a neologism for the concept of "one who bears bears] ===See also=== * [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bear bear] * [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vector vector]
