单词 sideric
释义

sidericadj.

Brit. /sʌɪˈdɪərɪk/, U.S. /saɪˈdɪrɪk/
Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; originally modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: Latin sīder- , sīdus , -ic suffix.
Etymology: Apparently < classical Latin sīder-, sīdus star (see sideral adj.) + -ic suffix, originally after German siderisch (1564, in Paracelsus, or earlier), though in some instances associated with (etymologically unrelated) siderism n.1The word was defined in N.E.D. (1910) as ‘pertaining to iron’ (implying a derivation from ancient Greek σίδηρος iron: see sidero- comb. form1 and compare siderism n.1), citing quot. 1876, but the term in this context is now taken to have a Latin derivation.
Now rare.
Relating to the stars or their influence; exhibiting an occult nature or effect attributed (at least in some instances) to the influence of the stars or planets.In quot. 1920, alluding directly to siderism n.1
