Yes, I know, it’s the plural form of Sun, but the word Sun likely predates our understanding that stars and our Sun are the same thing.

I get “stars”, but where did “suns” come from?

    In the morning I greet a bleary, foggy eyed sun. At noon, I see a cruel and imposing sun. In the evening I see a sun, red and weeping into the sea. At night, where have my suns gone?
