The word planet is from the Greek meaning wanderer.

As the ancients looked up in the sky, they noticed that while some points of light moved in a circular motion (stars) others seemed to "wander" all over the place, sometime reversing direction. These "stars" as they didn't yet know about planets, were called wandering stars.
