You mean this musick?
cynosure (SY-nuh-shoor) noun
1. One who is the center of attraction or interest.
2. One serving for guidance or direction.
[Originally the term was applied to the constellation Ursa Minor or the
North Star (Polaris) that was used in navigation. The term is derived from
Latin Cynosura (Ursa Minor), from Greek kynosoura (dog's tail), ultimately
from the Indo-European root kwon- (dog) that is also the source of canine,
chenille (from French chenille: caterpillar, literally, little dog), cynic,
kennel, canary, hound, dachshund, and corgi.]
