estelar

/esteˈlaɾ/ · B1 · adj

stellar

⭐ Latin stella = star, so estelar = star-like: both stellar and starring

From Latin stellaris, from stella (star), the same root as English stellar and constellation. Spanish adds an e- before st-, as in estudiar. Like English, it also means outstanding: una actuación estelar is a stellar, star-quality performance.
