Etymology

From Ancient Greek σάρος (sáros), from Akkadian 𒊹 (šar2 /⁠šār⁠/, “3600, total, many, a great quantity or measure”).

The modern astronomical usage is attributed to Edmond Halley, who based it on the word σάρος, defined in the Suda as "a measure and a number among Chaldeans. For 120 saroi make 2222 years according to the Chaldeans' reckoning, if indeed the saros makes 222 lunar months, which are 18 years and 6 months."

Pronunciation

Noun

saros (plural saroses or saroi)

  1. (history, Babylon) A quantity of 3600, such as a period of 3600 years.
