meteor
English
Etymology
From Middle French météore, from Old French, from Latin meteorum, from Ancient Greek ???????? (meté?ron), from ???????? (meté?ros, “raised from the ground, hanging, lofty”), from ???? (metá, “in the midst of, among, between”) (English meta) + ????? (aeír?, “to lift, to heave, to raise up”).
The original sense of “atmospheric phenomenon” gave rise to meteorology, but the meaning of "meteor" is now restricted to extraterrestrial objects burning up as they enter the atmosphere.
Pronunciation
- (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /?mi?t??/, /?mi?t???/
- (US) IPA(key): /?miti?/, [?mi?i?]

Noun
meteor (plural meteors)
- A fast-moving streak of light in the night sky caused by the entry of extraterrestrial matter into the earth's atmosphere: A shooting star or falling star.
- (archaic) Any atmospheric phenomenon. (Thus the derivation of meteorology.) These were sometimes classified as aerial or airy meteors (winds), aqueous or watery meteors (hydrometeors: clouds, rain, snow, hail, dew, frost), luminous meteors (rainbows and aurora), and igneous or fiery meteors (lightning and shooting stars).
- 1801, Robert Southey, Thalaba the Destroyer:
- A meteor in the hazy air
Play’d before his path;
Before him now it roll’d
A globe of livid fire; […]
And now its wavy point
Up-blazing rose, like a young cypress-tree
Sway’d by the heavy wind;
Anon to Thalaba it mov’d,
And wrapt him in its pale innocuous fire
- A meteor in the hazy air
- 1801, Robert Southey, Thalaba the Destroyer:
- (juggling) A prop similar to poi balls, in that it is twirled at the end of a cord or cable.
- (martial arts) A striking weapon resembling a track and field hammer consisting of a weight swung at the end of a cable or chain.
- (figuratively) Any short-lived source of wonderment.
Usage notes
- (streak of light in night sky): Not to be confused with meteoroid and meteorite (cause and remains of a meteor), or asteroid and comet (celestial bodies).
