pentagramn.

Brit.

/ˈpɛntəɡram/, U.S.

/ˈpɛn(t)əˌɡræm/

Forms: 1800s pentagramma, 1800s– pentagram.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: penta- comb. form, -gram comb. form.

Etymology: < penta- comb. form + -gram comb. form, in sense 1 after German †Pentagramma (1808 in the passage translated in quot. 1825 at sense 1; now Pentagramm ) and probably also Hellenistic Greek πεντάγραμμον five-pointed star (use as noun of neuter singular of ancient Greek πεντέγραμμος formed or consisting of five lines), post-classical Latin pentagrammum (c1595 in a British source), French pentagramme (1615). Compare earlier pentacle n., pentagonon n., pentalpha n., and pentangle n.

1. A five-pointed star that is formed by drawing a closed, continuous figure of five straight intersecting lines, often used as a mystic or magical symbol.The same figure can be formed by extending the sides of a pentagon both ways to their points of intersection; however, many mystical and occult systems ascribe particular efficacy to pentagrams drawn with a continuous line. The pentagram was formerly credited with the power to ward off evil spirits, and is now used as a symbol of Wicca and other neopagan movements, the five points sometimes being taken to represent earth, water, air, fire, and spirit.The word pentagram is of relatively recent origin in English, but cf. earlier pentacle n., pentagonon n., pentalpha n., and pentangle n.
