Description
The word Venusian is simply a combination of the name of the planet Venus and the suffix -ian, formed on the analogy of Martian (as if = Marsian). It is usually pronounced /vɨˈnjuʒən/ or /vɨˈnjuʃən/. Based on the latter pronunciation, the spelling Venutian is sometimes found.
The classically derived form of the word would be Venerean or Venerian (cf. Latin: venereus, venerius belonging to the goddess Venus), but these forms have been used by only a few authors (e.g. Robert A. Heinlein). Scientists sometimes use the adjective Cytherean to describe Venus, from the goddess epithet Cytherea.
