I told my wife that from a genetic standpoint starfish are disembodied heads crawling across the seafloor on their mouth, and she was so squicked out that she left the room… Which was, in fairness, my intent, so, uh… mission accomplished?
As [email protected] said above, “Étoile de mer” means “star from/of the sea”.
“Toilet of the sea” would be translated to “toilettes de mer” (wich don’t exist)
You don’t need defects in your eyes to see it. All you need to do is to close your eyes slightly and look through your eyelashes. The light refracts on the lashes and creates a star-like pattern.

Thankfully they’re not.

this would work on me
Seems a bit weird that every culture would call them some variant of “stars” since they don’t look like actual stars. Actual stars are just dots.

They particularly look like diffraction spikes/starbursts.
Astigmatism, cataracts, glaucoma or smudged glasses can cause you to see starbursts when you look at bright lights at night.
I must assume all people who name things have astigmatism.
Surely whoever named astigmatism had astigmatism.
