Origin of Interstellar-planet

Constructed from Latin: inter- +‎ stellar- +‎ planet and from Middle English planete, from Old English planēta (“planet, chasuble”), from Latin planeta, planetes, from Ancient Greek πλανήτης (planētēs) variant of πλάνης (planēs, “wanderer, planet”), from Ancient Greek πλανάω (planáō, “wander about, stray”), of unknown origin. Perhaps from a Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to wander, roam”), cognate with Latin pālor (“wander about, stray”), Old Norse flana (“to rush about”), Norwegian flanta (“to wander about”). More at flaunt.
