Crosland https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Historical_Studies_in_the_Language_of_Ch/kwQQaltqByAC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=“spirit+of+Venus”&pg=PA89&printsec=frontcover 89 Another pair of terms which caused some confusion were Spirit of Saturn and Spirit of Venus, names suggesting compounds of lead and copper respectively. Jean Beguin described the preparation from minium and distilled vinegar of a liquid he called burning spirit of Saturn, because it was inflammable and he thought it was a compound of lead. Actually the lead takes no part in the reaction and the product of distilling lead acetate is impure acetone. Beguin’s terminology did not go without comment however, for Christopher Glaser later referred to ‘A burning Spirit of Saturn (as it is called) but rather, a Spirit of the Volatile Salt of Vinegar’. Tachenius referred to the product of distillation of copper acetate as ‘pretended spirit of Venus’ because it was really only distilled vinegar - the meaning which Macquer gave to the expression. It is typical of the confusion of terminology in early chemistry that the London Pharmacopoeia of 1721 gave the name Spiritus Veneris to sulphuric acid obtained by the distillation of copper sulphate.

In Chaucer’s words: ‘The seven bodies eek, lo hear anon. Sol gold is, and Luna silver we declare; Mars yron, Mercurie is quyksilver; Saturnian leed; and Jubitur is tyn, and Venus coper, by my fathers kyn.’ […] Corresponding names were bestowed upon salts of these metals by the alchemists, and some of them have persisted down to the present day. Some examples are lunar caustic (silver nitrate); vitriol of Venus (copper sulphate); sugar of Saturn (lead acetate); and vitriol of Mars, or Martial vitriol (ferrous sulphate).

Pronunciation

nb ɑːtʉɳ 2
nb Sa turn
Etymology 1
nb, based on nb la Sāturnus Saturn, the Roman god, also attested in the older form la Saeturnus. The Norwegian form reflects the widespread international form of the name without the Latin ending -us.
The deeper origin of the Latin name is uncertain. Ancient Roman writers connected it with la satus sown, the past participle of la serō to sow, plant, in reference to Saturn's association with agriculture. This explanation is generally regarded as a folk etymology, however, since it does not readily account for the long vowel ā in la Sāturnus or the older form la Saeturnus. An alternative proposal ultimately derives the name from nb ett -, comparing it with the Etruscan divine name ett 𐌔𐌀𐌕𐌓𐌄 Satre; the exact relationship between the Latin and Etruscan names remains uncertain.
The astronomical sense is transferred from the name of the Roman deity. Saturn was one of the five planets visible to the naked eye that were known in antiquity and received names associated with Greco-Roman gods.
Parallel international forms include da Saturn, de Saturn, nl Saturnus, sv Saturnus, is Satúrnus, fr Saturne and en Saturn.
Proper noun
nb proper noun
nb astronomy Saturn; the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant especially distinguished by its extensive system of rings
nb Saturn er lett å kjenne igjen på det store ringsystemet. Saturn is easy to recognize by its large ring system.
nb 30 May 2015 Terje Avner Aftenposten Solsystemet fra A til Å Planeten Saturn, nummer seks fra Solen, er i seg selv et spennende system med sine spektakulære ringer og mer enn 60 måner. The planet Saturn, number six from the Sun, is itself a fascinating system with its spectacular rings and more than 60 moons.
nb Roman mythology Saturn; an ancient Italic and Roman god closely associated with agriculture and crops, later identified with the Greek god Kronos, whose reign was regarded as a mythical Golden Age
nb Saturn ble senere identifisert med den greske guden Kronos. Saturn was later identified with the Greek god Cronus.
nb 2019 Anniken Sandvik Ramazzini 1 20 Saturngikta Guden Saturn var i romersk mytologi nært knyttet til åkerbruket og ble derfor ofte avbildet med kornsigd eller ljå. In Roman mythology, the god Saturn was closely associated with agriculture and was therefore often depicted with a sickle or scythe.

nb en Saturn former American automobile marque. The English brand name originated as the name of a General Motors project in 1982 and was retained when Saturn Corporation was formally established in 1985.
The project was named after the Saturn V rocket, which had carried the Apollo missions to the Moon. The name was intended to evoke the technological ambition and success of the American space program at a time when General Motors was seeking to compete more effectively with Japanese automobile manufacturers.
The rocket's name ultimately derives from the same astronomical name as Etymology 1. The Saturn rocket family had itself been named after the planet: it followed earlier American rocket systems called Jupiter, and Saturn is the next planet outward from Jupiter.
