Where does the word "star" come from?

"Star" as a noun meaning "a heavenly body appearing as a point" comes from Old English steorra, which has the same meaning. It acquires the meaning "leading performer" in 1824, and "outstanding performer in sport" by 1916. The verb form, which derives from the noun, gains the meaning "to mark with a star" in the 1590s. The OED lists 84 different meanings for the word - 65 nouns and 19 verbs. The noun acquires the meaning "a type of grass" around 1300, "a crack in the skin" in 1607, "a flash of light" (when used in the plural) in 1609, "a jelly-like substance found on the ground, presumably from a meteor" in 1666, "a type of gemstone" in 1693, "a swelling on the leg of a horse" in 1710, and "a prisoner serving a first sentence" in 1882, and many others over the years. The verb acquires the meaning "to mark a horse" in 1591, "to spangle or speckle" in 1592, "to be in the ascendant (said of a planet)" also in 1592, "to form a star-like pattern upon cooling" in 1727, "to fracture the surface of glass or ice" in 1787, and "to extend or disperse in different directions" in 1886. The earliest written use of the verb is in 1591, in the writings of Robert Greene, playwright.
