Origin of the word meteoric

The word "meteoric" originates from the Greek word "meteoros," meaning "high in the air." This term was used to describe any atmospheric phenomenon, including shooting stars or meteoroids. Over time, "meteoric" evolved to specifically refer to the rapid and brilliant appearance of a meteor. This association with speed and brilliance led to its figurative usage to describe anything that rises to prominence quickly, such as a "meteoric rise to fame."
