A personal spacecraft shaped like a person, because vacuum doesn't negotiate.
means A pressurized, life-support-equipped garment that lets a human body survive and work in the vacuum of space or on airless/thin-atmosphere worlds.
from Straightforward compound of 'space' and 'suit' (as in a suit of clothes), coined in the 20th century as high-altitude pressure suits for aviators evolved into sealed, self-contained garments for spaceflight; the design lineage runs through early pressure-suit experiments and diving-suit engineering, both disciplines built around keeping a survivable bubble of pressure and air around a body in an environment that would otherwise kill it instantly.
