Etymology
'astrologic' originates from New Latin 'astrologicus', ultimately from Greek 'astrologia', where 'astron' meant 'star' and 'logia' meant 'study'.
'astrologic' changed from Medieval Latin 'astrologicus' into Middle English forms influenced by 'astrology' and eventually became the modern English adjective 'astrologic'.
Initially, it meant 'of or pertaining to the study of the stars', but over time it evolved into the current meaning 'relating to astrology'.
