"Sidus, especially Sirius or the Dog's star, whence "sidere percussus"
is, blighted or blasted, and sideratus. [An etymological dictionary of
the Latin language, Valpy, 1828, p.431]
Latin sidus comes from the Indo-European root *sweid- To shine.
Possible suffixed form *sweid-es-. 1. sidereal, from Latin sidus,
constellation, star. 2. consider ("set alongside the stars"),
considerate, desire (Latin desiderare, from de + sidus, the meaning of
"await what the stars will bring")"

'Sidereal day' is an astronomical oxymoron,the term sidereal is
definitive of an orbital return of a star and not its daily return
hence the formatting of the appearance of Sirius from behind the Sun
using an extra day after 4 consecutive 365 day cycles as the familiar
365/366 day system.
The issue in not about winning an argument nor about concluding one as
in astronomy there is no end to modifications and adjustments and this
particular issue has several dozen different type of aspects heading
in different directions,it is not even beginning to put a picture
together which is the dismaying feature of this era for putting Sirius
in daily stellar circumpolar motion is counter-productive in the
extreme when considering (con-siderere) the line of sight argument
which puts Sirius behind the central Sun for a period of time.
It is incredibly frustrating knowing what exactly went wrong at the
juncture where stellar circumpolar ideologies suffocate understanding
of real genuine astronomical work and even more so knowing that the
empirical agendas would remain unaffected when the astronomy returning
to a functioning discipline,it is true that many of the vacuous
novelties would disappear but who needs them anyway !.I looked at the
etymology website and it says that 'amateur' is a word born of love
and a feel for something and it only acquired its contemporary meaning
in 1786 where people do it for pay and no talent is required,if there
was the conversations here would be vibrant and this world would be a
different.
