köken: From Middle Persian 𐭠𐭧𐭲𐭫 (ʾhtl /axtar/), an ancient backformation from 𐭠𐭯𐭠𐭧𐭲𐭫 (ʾpʾhtl /abāxtar/, “planet”), due to a mistaken folk etymology that the first element ab- was a negative suffix, since Zoroastrianism considers the planets to be nefarious "un-stars" due to their astronomically odd behavior.
ای شهنشاه بلند اختر، خدا را همتی تا ببوسم همچو اختر خاک ایوان شما
اختر نیک
باز این منم که از غم روی چو ماه تو شب تا به صبح، دیدهٔ من پر ز اختر است
