Etymology
The word 'starry' comes from the Old English term ' steorra', which means 'star', combined with the suffix '-y' indicating a condition related to it. As the English language evolved, 'starry' began to describe a sky filled with stars or things adorned with stars. The superlative form 'starriest' is formed by adding '-iest' to 'starry', following the common English grammatical rule for creating superlatives. The usage of 'starry' can be traced back to poetic literature, where it was used to evoke feelings of wonder and fascination with the night sky. The superlative form, 'starriest', encapsulates an even stronger emphasis on the density or prevalence of stars, reflecting humanity's long-standing fascination with the cosmos.
