Definition
Relating to the planet Mars or its hypothetical inhabitants. Can also be used as a noun to refer to a supposed inhabitant of Mars.
Etymology
From Latin 'Mars,' the Roman god of war and the name of the fourth planet. The adjectival suffix '-ian' was added in the late 19th century as astronomical interest in Mars grew.
Kelly Says
The word 'Martian' gained immense popularity through science fiction, especially after H.G. Wells' 'The War of the Worlds' in 1898. Interestingly, we now know more about the surface of Mars than we do about our own ocean floors!
