Where this word comes from

From sol (“sun; central star”) + system (“system”), literally “sun system”. The first element, sol, is used in its astronomical sense “central star of a planetary system” and is inherited from sól (“sun”). The second element, system, ultimately goes back to σύστημα (sústēma, “composition, organized whole”). Compare the parallel formations Norwegian Nynorsk solsystem, Danish solsystem, Swedish solsystem and German Sonnensystem (“solar system”).
