英语词汇star的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	star
词源	star. Star, for an actor of exceptional popularity or talent, or both, isn’t some press agent’s invention as many believe. The term is first recorded in a 1779 book on the theater in an ap- praisal of the great English actor David Garrick: “The little stars, who hid their diminished rays in his [Garrick’s] presence, began to abuse him.” Star, as a verb, wasn’t used until about 1825. Stardom seems to have been coined by O. Henry in a 1911 short story. See matinee idol.
