What country did the word meteor come from?

The word "meteor" refers to the weather (which is way weather men are called Meteorologists). Before it was appreciated that there were rocks from outer space burning in our atmosphere, meteors were thought to be some sort of weather phenomenon. Properly, a "meteor" is the light streak in the sky; the rock that caused the meteor, if one is lucky enough to find it, is a "meteorite" and if an astronaut encounters a rock in near-Earth space BEFORE it becomes a meteor/meteorite, that's a "meteoroid."
