astroiten.

Brit.

/ˈastrəʊʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈæstroʊˌaɪt/

Forms:

α. 1500s– astroites.

β. 1600s astroyt, 1600s– astroite, 1700s–1800s astroit.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French astroïtes; Latin astroites.

Etymology: < Middle French astroïtes (1562 in Du Pinet's translation of Pliny, in the passage translated in quot. 1601 at sense 1; 1564 in the passage translated in quot. 1569 at sense 1) and its etymon post-classical Latin astroites, former reading, e.g. in 16th-cent. editions of Pliny (where modern editions read classical Latin astriotes ), apparently < ancient Greek ἄστρον star (see astro- comb. form) + classical Latin -ītēs -ite suffix¹.In sense 2 after post-classical Latin astroites (1586 in astroites lapides (plural) ‘astroite stones’ in the passage translated in quot. 1610 at sense 2). In sense 3 after French pierre astroïte (P. Boccone 1671: see quot. 1694). In some instances it is difficult to tell whether a form is singular or plural.

†1. A kind of precious stone known in antiquity; = astrion n. Cf. star stone n. 3, pentacrinite n. Obsolete.
