appearing in a movie or show as the main character, or marked with a star symbol.
From the noun 'star,' from Old English 'steorra,' from Proto-Germanic '*sternô.' The '-ed' suffix creates the past tense or adjective form.
When we say an actor 'starred' in a film, we're using a metaphor that goes back centuries—famous performers were thought to be like stars in the sky, shining above everyone else! The earliest movie credits literally used star symbols next to the lead actors' names.
