Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Old French 'astrologue', originating from Latin 'astrologus', and ultimately from Ancient Greek 'astrologos', combining 'astron' (star) and 'legein' (to tell or speak). Historically, it referred to scholars of the stars before astronomy and astrology diverged into separate scientific and esoteric practices.
