Emily and Kyle take a look through their calendar… and through the history of the calendar, as they discuss the meaning and origin of the word calends.

Our hosts begin with a bit of Latin, digging into the origins of the word calends, of various monthly words, and even of the letter K. They discuss the importance of the moon in ancient time management, and the struggles of bridging a lunar and solar calendar.

Emily explains how a calends is a new beginning, what “none” meant in ancient Rome, and why the Ides of March is not actually that exciting. Kyle learns, with horror, how the Romans counted and named their days. And the pair breeze through the etymologies of the months.

Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
