Extensively used in Romance languages (Italian -astro, Spanish -astro, -astre, Provençal -astre, Old French -astre, modern French -âtre), esp. in French as adjectival suffix, e.g. bleuâtre bluish, blanchâtre whitish, etc. In English only in words from Latin or Romance, e.g. astrologaster, grammaticaster, oleaster, poetaster, politicaster.
