  avatar n. Syn. [in Hindu mythology, the incarnation of a god] 1. Among
     people working on virtual reality and {cyberspace} interfaces, an
     "avatar" is an icon or representation of a user in a shared virtual
     reality. The term is sometimes used on {MUD}s. 2. [CMU, Tektronix]
     {root}, {superuser}. There are quite a few Unix machines on which the
     name of the superuser account is `avatar' rather than `root'. This quirk
     was originated by a CMU hacker who found the terms `root' and
     `superuser' unimaginative, and thought `avatar' might better impress
     people with the responsibility they were accepting.
