Adjective

[edit]

September (feminine Septembris, neuter Septembre); third-declension three-termination adjective

  1. of September
    • 106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Letters to Atticus I.1.10:
      cum Romae a iudiciis forum refrixerit, excurremus mense Septembri legati ad Pisonem, ut ianuario revertamur.

Usage notes

[edit]

In Classical Latin, month names were regularly used as adjectives, generally modifying a case-form of mēnsis m sg (month) or of one of the nouns used in the Roman calendar to refer to specific days of the month from which other days were counted: Calendae f pl (calends), Nōnae f pl (nones), Īdūs f pl (ides). However, the masculine noun mēnsis could be omitted by ellipsis, so the masculine singular forms of month names eventually came to be used as proper nouns.[1]
