The word "solar" is derived from the Latin word "solaris," which means "of the sun." The Latin root "sol" means "sun" or "only," which likely led to the association of the word "solar" with the sun. This connection may have originated from the idea that the sun is the only source of light and energy in our solar system, hence the root meaning "only" being associated with it.
Sol is Latin for 'sun'. It's the Latin root word for the adjective 'solaris', which means 'of the sun, solar'. It also is the Latin root word for 'solarium', which means 'sundial, balcony or terrace exposed to the sun'. It combines with the verb 'fero ferre' ['to bear, bring, carry'], to form 'solifer', which means 'sun-bringing'. It also combines with the verb 'sisto sistere' ['to stand still'], to form 'solstitium', which means 'the solstice'.
