constellation
의미: A recognised pattern of stars in the night sky, or more broadly, a group of related things, people, or factors that form a distinctive cluster.
In astronomy, the International Astronomical Union officially recognises 88 constellations that divide the entire celestial sphere. Beyond its scientific sense, the word is frequently used in formal and literary English to describe any striking assemblage — a constellation of talents, symptoms, or circumstances. This figurative usage is common in academic papers, policy documents, and quality journalism.
