Etymology of STARGAZING

The word "stargazing" originated from the combination of two terms: "star" and "gaze". "Star" comes from the Old English word "steorra", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "sterron". This ultimately finds its roots in the Proto-Indo-European word "h₂stḗr", meaning "star". The word "gaze" comes from the Middle English word "gasen", which means "to look fixedly". Therefore, the term "stargazing" can be understood as the act of looking intently or fixedly at the stars.
