sendanfor

Sendanfor is a term employed in speculative fiction, fantasy role‑playing, and online fan communities. There is no single, canonical definition, and the meaning of sendanfor varies by author and context.

Common uses describe sendanfor as a fictional material or energy source. In those works, sendanfor is depicted as a luminous, highly efficient substance that powers artifacts, starships, or magical engines. It is typically portrayed as scarce, valuable, and difficult to refine, with seizures of supply driving plotlines and political conflict.

Other uses treat sendanfor as a ceremonial concept, such as a vow, oath, or qualification. In these contexts, to ‘sendanfor’ may mean passing a rite or achieving a rank within a fictional order. Some fan wikis even separate the term into distinct meanings within specific universes.

Etymology is uncertain; the term appears to be a contemporary neologism likely created within online writing communities in the late 2010s or early 2020s, possibly drawing from constructed languages or portmanteau formation.

Reception: Sendanfor is mainly of interest to worldbuilders and readers of fan fiction; it has no recognized place in real-world science or industry. It illustrates how new terms arise in shared fictional spaces.
