Definition

From Latin constēllātus (“starred”), past participle of constēllō. Equivalent to Latin constēllō + -ate (verb-forming suffix).

It was the utter, objective embodiment of the fantastic novelist's 'thing that should not be'; and its nearest comprehensible analogue is a vast, onrushing subway train as one sees it from a station platform--the great black front looming colossally out of infinite subterraneous distance, constellated with strangely colored lights and filling the prodigious burrow. — At the mountains of madness, H. P. (Howard Phillips) Lovecraft
