Origin of the word starry

The word "starry" originates from the Old English word "stēorra," meaning "star." It's a descriptive adjective, formed by adding the suffix "-y" to the noun "star." This suffix, "-y," was commonly used in Old English to create adjectives that indicated abundance, quality, or resemblance. So, "starry" literally means "full of stars" or "resembling stars," and it has been used to describe things that are adorned with stars, or that shine brightly like stars in the sky.
