"Disaster" etymology
dis (away) + ast (star) = ill-starred, ill-fated
The word disaster is closely tied to the French désastre, from the Old Italian disastro, itself derived from Greek.
The ancient Greeks were fascinated by astronomy and believed the stars influence fate. For them, a disaster was due to an unfavorable alignment of planets and stars.
