Etymology
Horoscope comes from Greek parts hora ('hour' or 'time') and skopos ('watcher' or 'look'), and the skopos part is like the English scope, seen in telescope. It originally meant a 'time-watcher', a chart made for a particular hour, which is why a horoscope is a diagram showing the sky at that moment.
