t (temperature) + ate (worried) + sun (star)
about = T + eta + nus.

Hi. I understand the initial 'T' and sun becoming nus.

Don't see how the 'ate' is used.

I suppose if something eats at you it worries you.

ate is not "used", ate is "worried".

Maybe I'm really dumb but where does the ETA in the middle come from?

star worried = sun ate,
star worried about = etanus

does that make it clear.

Thanks Phillip. Thought that's what I meant in post 4 but probably did not express myself very well.
