Etymology

From Middle English astrologer, astrologier, astrologere, formed from Middle English astrologie or Latin astrologus + Middle English -ere, equivalent to astrology + -er. Ousted imported Middle English astrologien (“astrologer”), borrowed from Old French astrologien. Displaced Old English tungolwītga (literally “star prophet”).
