How did ancient people come up with the name comet?
The name comet came from the Greek word komē meaning "hair of the head". Aristotle used this word to mean a luminous tail of a comet. Aristotle also used the derivation komētēs meaning "wearing long hair" to use as a noun meaning comet and to describe comets as "stars with hair". This Greek word was adopted as the Latin word comētēs and later comēta. Comēta is the earliest English forebear of the now "comet".
