The word "disastrous" comes from the Middle French term "disastreux," which in turn is derived from the Italian "disastro," meaning "ill-starred" or "unlucky." This Italian term combines "dis-" (indicating negation) with "astro," meaning "star," reflecting the ancient belief that the positions of celestial bodies could influence human fate. The word entered English in the late 16th century, retaining its connotation of calamity or misfortune.
