Today,
let's learn the roots of each month.
We
sometimes introduce English trivia during lessons at English Plus.
For
instance, in the TOEIC lesson, there is a lesson about "prefix", and one of the topics is "Octo."
Octo
means eight in Latin, and with the prefix "Octo", we can imagine vocabulary like "Octopus."
Octopus
has eight tentacles, and its name is Octopus.
However,
October is not the eighth month of a year but the tenth month of a year.
Why is
it?
Actually,
there used to be 10 months in a year but now there are 12 months in a year.
There
are some hypothesis why it happened, and here's one of them.
・January
from God Janus
・February
from God Fabulus
・March
from God Mars
・April
from Goddess Aphrodite
・May
from Goddess Maia
・June
from Goddess Juneau
・July
from Roman politician "Julius Caesar"
・August
from was a Roman statesman "Augustus"
・September
from Sept = 7 in Latin
・October
from Octo = 8 in Latin
・November
from Novem = 9 in Latin
・December
from Decem = 10 in Latin
Because
of July and August, the last 4 months - September, October, November, and December had to change the position of the month.
If you
know the trivia of English, it might help you improve your English skills.
Let's
enjoy learning English!
