Etymology of HOROSCOPIES

The word "horoscopies" is formed by combining the root word "horoscope" and the suffix "-ies".

The term "horoscope" comes from the Latin word "horoscopus", which was derived from the Greek word "horoskopos". "Horoskopos" is a combination of "hora" meaning "hour" and "skopos" meaning "watcher" or "guardian". In ancient times, it referred to an astrologer's observance of the positions of celestial bodies at a specific time, typically someone's birth, in order to predict or analyze their future.

The suffix "-ies" is used to form the plural of nouns, indicating multiple instances of something. So, by adding the suffix "-ies" to "horoscope", we get "horoscopies", referring to multiple horoscope readings or instances of consulting horoscopes.
