The other day I was watching this movie 'Italian job' in which "Charlize Theron" is in as "Stella Bridger", and she is really good at picking locks. This name of hers quite fascinated me as it was sounded quite similar to some of the words that I knew. I would be discussing these words in this post.
Stellar (Adj):
having to do with stars
having the quality of a star entertainer or performer, brilliant, outstanding
This word comes from the Latin root "stella" which means "a star", so something that is related to star is stellar
Contextual example:
Her stellar performance at the show was lauded appropriately.
Constellation (N): a group of stars forming a recognized pattern.
This word can be split up as "con" which means "together" and "stella" which means "star", so stars that appear to be together are said to be part of a constellation.
Some examples of constellation are:
Orion, Scorpius, Leo etc.
Regards,
V
