Cazibi

/kæˈziːbi/ noun

Definition

A type of astrological calculation or planetary position in historical Arabic astronomical texts.

Etymology

From Arabic astronomical terminology, likely derived from root words relating to planetary conjunction (qarana) and specific angular measurements used in medieval Islamic astronomy.

Kelly Says

This word is a ghost of the Islamic Golden Age—medieval Arab astronomers developed incredibly precise mathematical systems to track planets, and cazibi was one specific calculation that influenced European astronomy centuries later.
