Etymology

[edit]

FromMiddle Frenchmétéore, fromOld French, fromLatinmeteorum, fromAncient Greekμετέωρον(metéōron), fromμετέωρος(metéōros,“raised from the ground, hanging, lofty”), fromμετά(metá,“in the midst of, among, between”) (Englishmeta) +ἀείρω(aeírō,“to lift, to heave, to raise up”).

The original sense of “atmospheric phenomenon” gave rise tometeorology, but the meaning of "meteor" is now restricted to extraterrestrial objects burning up as they enter the atmosphere.
