Day"-star` (?), n.
1.
The morning star; the star which ushers in the day.
A dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts.
2 Peter i. 19.
2.
The sun, as the orb of day.
[Poetic]
So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,
And yet anon repairs his drooping head,
And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore Flames in the forehead of the morning sky.
Milton.
