Etymology of disaster

Origin of the word disaster

The word disaster comes from the Middle French désastre from the old Italian disastro, which in turn comes from the Greek pejorative prefix dis- (bad; Gr: δυσ-) + aster (star; Gr: ἀστήρ). So disaster lit. means "bad star" in Greek. The sense is astrological, of a calamity blamed on an unfavorable position of a planet.
.
Note: Some etymologize dis- from the Greek dis [twice, bis-, bi-; Gr.: δις] from dyo [the number two, duo; Gr.: δύο].




In modern Greek:
a) asteri or aster: star [Gr: αστέρι or αστήρ]
