أصل النجم: الكوكب الطالع، وجمعه:
قوله تعالى: ﴿والنجم والشجر يسجدان﴾ [الرحمن: 6] قيل: النجم: ما لا ساق له كاليقظين والقثاء والبطيخ، والشجر ماله ساق. قوله: ﴿والنجم إذا هوى﴾ [النجم: 1] قيل: أراد جنس كوكب فدل بالواحد على الجمع، وقيل: أراد كوكبا بعينه وهو الثريا. وقد صار علما غالبا عليها كالعيوق والدبران. ومنه قول العرب: [من مجزوء الرمل]
