Etymology 1Edit

Borrowed from Latin Mars (“god of war”), from older Latin (older than 75 BCE) Māvors. 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌄𐌓𐌔 (mamers) was his Oscan name. He was also known as Marmor, Marmar and Maris, the latter from the Etruscan deity Maris.

Proper nounEdit

Mars

2. (astronomy) The fourth planet in the solar system. Symbol: ♂

   Mars has two moons, Deimos and Phobos.

4. (Roman mythology) The Roman god of war.

   Synonym: Ares

   Mars was the lover of Venus, and together they had daughter called Harmonia.

5. (poetic) War; a personification of war.

   In the first half of the twentieth century, Mars devastated Europe.

   • 1918, Ruth Stanley Farnam, A Nation at Bay: What an American Woman Saw and Did in Suffering Serbia, page 57:

     Mars rode upon the storm of horror and drank his fill of pain and blood. When the Serbian Army retreated before the foe, four times its own strength, it went backward facing the enemy and fighting every step of the way.

   • 1944, McGraw-Hill, Engineering and Mining Journal, volume 145, page 54:

     A relieved world then will eagerly turn to the task of reclaiming the destruction wrought by Mars ... A tremendous task, filled with infinite possibilities ... A profitable task, according to how well you are prepared to do your part in the rehabilitation ...

   • 1975, Helen Diane Russell, Jeffrey Blanchard, Jacques Callot: Prints & Related Drawings, Issue 21, page 10:

     The plague, inevitable companion of Mars, ravaged the populace.
