The rising or setting of a star at the same time as the sun; an acronycal occurrence.
Directly from Greek 'akron' (peak) and 'nyx' (night). This noun form refers to the actual astronomical event rather than describing it.
Medieval astrologers created detailed acronych tables to predict when different stars would disappear and reappear in the night sky—this was ancient peoples' way of reading the calendar.
