Persian
Etymology
From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾhtl /axtar/), from [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾpʾhtl /abāxtar/, “planet”), distorted due to a mistaken folk etymology that the first element ab- was a negative suffix, the idea being that the planets were "un-stars" due to their astronomically odd behavior.[1]
