1556 R. Record Castle of Knowl. 196 When anye starre is so nyghe vnto the Son that the Sonne doothe take awaye or hyde the lyghte of it, it oughte to bee called the Hydynge or occultation of that starre, and not the settynge of that starre.

b. The concealment of a celestial object by another interposed between it and the observer, as of a star or planet by the moon, or of a satellite by its planet. In early use (also): the concealment of a celestial object below the horizon (now only in circle of perpetual occultation n. at circle n. 2a).Commonly used in cases where the occulting body is of much greater apparent size than that occulted; the (partial or total) concealment of the sun by the moon is called an eclipse. In the case of a planet's satellites, such as those of Jupiter, an eclipse takes place when a satellite passes into the planet's shadow, an occultation when it passes behind the planet's disc.
