Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *wénh₁-os ~ *wénh₁-es-os n (“loveliness”), from the root *wenh₁- (“to wish, love”). Cognate with Sanskrit वन॑स् 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. See: Old Norse Nouns '
vanir'.
