Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Old Latin Māvors, from Proto-Italic *Māwortis[1], or from Proto-Italic *Māmart-. If Māvors indeed comes from *Māmart-, the apparent change */-m-/ to */-w-/ is a unique and isolated change.[2] Mamers was his Oscan name. He was also known as Marmor, Marmar and Maris, the latter from the Etruscan deity Maris. See also the Lapis Satricanus, where 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌀𐌓𐌕𐌄𐌆 (Mamartei) is attested.

Pronunciation[edit]

Proper noun[edit]

Mārs m sg (genitive Mārtis); third declension

  1. (Roman mythology) Mars (god of war)
  2. (astronomy) Mars (planet)
  3. (alchemy, chemistry) iron

Usage notes[edit]

The name of the god could, through interpretatio romana, serve to replace the name of a war god in a foreign language. Thus Saxo Grammaticus, for example, uses the term to refer to the Norse god Odin, alternating it with the borrowed form Ōthinus.

Declension[edit]

Third-declension noun, singular only.
