Andromed

/ˈændrəmɛd/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of Andromeda; having properties associated with the Andromeda constellation or galaxy.

Etymology

From Greek Andromeda (the mythological princess and constellation) + -ed (adjectival suffix). A rare literary or poetic term used to describe cosmic or stellar qualities.

Kelly Says

The Andromeda galaxy was named after the mythological princess—the ancients saw a pattern of stars they thought resembled her chained form, and now we know Andromeda is heading toward us and will collide with the Milky Way in 4.5 billion years!
