Etymology
From Lun(a) (“the Moon”) + -ite.
Noun
Lunite (plural Lunites)
- (science fiction, now rare) Synonym of Lunarian (“inhabitant of the Moon”).
1933 February, Julian Kendig, Jr., “The Eternal Mask”, in Amazing Stories, volume 7, number 11, page 1036, column 2:"Our situation," Lamar remarked, "is similar to that which a Lunite might have encountered had he visited New England in 1690. Any wretch who claimed ancestry among the people of the moon in those days, would have been convicted of witchcraft and burned at the stake without mercy."
