Planet originally derives fom the greek, being adopted into Latin by the Romans and through their invasion further into Europe came to be used in the 'Romantic' languages, finally becoming commonly used English two centuries after the Norman invasion.

From Dictionary.com:

1250-1300; Middle English planete (< Old French planète ) < Late Latin planēta, planētēs (found only in plural planētae ) < Greek ( astéres ) planḗtai literally, wandering (stars)
