Star Chambern.

Brit.

/ˈstɑː ˌtʃeɪmbə/, U.S.

/ˈstɑr ˌtʃeɪmbər/

Forms: see star n.¹ and chamber n. Also with lower-case initials.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item, and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: star n.¹, chamber n.

Etymology: < star n.¹ + chamber n., after post-classical Latin camera stellata ‘starred chamber’ (from 1376 in British sources; also camera cum stellis depicta ‘chamber painted with stars’ (1375), camera stellarum ‘chamber of stars’ (1421)) and Anglo-Norman chambre d'estoiles, chambre des esteilles, chambre esteillee (14th cent.). Compare earlier Starred Chamber n. and also starn-chamber n. at starn n. Compounds.The apartment was apparently so named on account of its decoration; T. Smith De republica Anglorum (1565 ; printed 1583) iii. iv remarked that the chamber was so called ‘because at the first all the roofe thereof was decked with images of starres gilted’. There is no factual basis for the suggestion, made popular by Blackstone, that the chamber had been the depository of ‘starrs’ or Jewish bonds (see starr n.); the forms in post-classical Latin and Anglo-Norman make clear that this is not the case.

1. (The name of) an apartment in the royal palace at Westminster, in which during the 14th and 15th centuries the Chancellor, Treasurer, Justices, and other members of the King's Council sat to exercise jurisdiction. Now historical.
