"venus" meaning in Latin

See venus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈu̯e.nus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈu̯ɛnʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈve.nus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈvɛːnus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *wénh₁-os ~ *wénh₁-es-os n (“loveliness”), from the root *wenh₁- (“to wish, love”). Cognate with Sanskrit वनस् n (vánas, “loveliness, desire”) and possibly also cognate with Old Norse vanir. Although comparative evidence suggests that the name of the goddess Venus originated as a personification of the noun 'loveliness'; this Latin noun can be interpreted in the historical period as a figurative or transferred use of the goddess's name (note its feminine gender, as opposed to the neuter gender that is reconstructed for the original noun). Accordingly, many edited works capitalize the term.

Cognate with Sanskrit वनस् n (vánas, “loveliness, desire”) and possibly also cognate with Old Norse vanir. Although comparative evidence suggests that the name of the goddess Venus originated as a personification of the noun 'loveliness'; this Latin noun can be interpreted in the historical period as a figurative or transferred use of the goddess's name (note its feminine gender, as opposed to the neuter gender that is reconstructed for the original noun). Accordingly, many edited works capitalize the term.",
