Help[Opinions] Re: Venere / Venus
in reply to a message by Felie
Whenever I hear Venus, before Roman Mythology even crosses my mind, I think of the tennis player Venus Williams. It's the immediate image, and it's difficult to shake. Not that she is a bad association, necessarily, but she's a strong one.
As for Venere, I can tell right now that the name and the English word "venerable" are derived from the same root. However, the first thought in my head when I read Venere, before "venerable," was "venereal." As in Venereal Disease (VD), which is the older term for what we now call Sexually Transmitted Disease / Sexually Transmitted Infection (STD / STI).
