How Do You Spell CALENDAR?

Pronunciation: [kˈaləndə] (IPA)

The word "calendar" can be a tricky one to spell. The pronunciation is /ˈkæləndər/, with the stress on the first syllable. The spelling can be remembered by breaking it down into two halves: "cal" and "endar". The "cal" part comes from the Latin word "calendae", which referred to the first day of each month. The "endar" part comes from the Latin "agenda", meaning "things that need to be done." So when you put the two halves together, you get "calendar" - a record of important dates and events throughout the year.

CALENDAR Meaning and Definition

  1. A calendar is a system of organizing time into days, weeks, months, and years, typically used to keep track of important dates and events. It is a tool that helps individuals, organizations, and societies plan and schedule activities according to fixed units of time.

    A traditional calendar consists of twelve months, which are subdivided into days. The most widely used calendar worldwide is the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the solar year and has 365 days, with an additional day every four years in a leap year. Other types of calendars exist, such as lunar calendars and lunisolar calendars, which are based on the moon's cycles and combine both lunar and solar elements.

    Calendars provide a systematic way of measuring and reckoning time, allowing people to determine the current date, anticipate upcoming events, and coordinate activities. They include notable dates such as public holidays, religious observances, and personal anniversaries. Calendars can be printed, electronic, or displayed online, and often include specific features such as week numbering, public holidays, phases of the moon, or the ability to mark appointments or reminders.

    In addition to indicating the passage of time, calendars reflect cultural, social, and religious practices. They can vary among different countries, religions, and cultures, with various methods of determining the start of a new year or different names assigned to months and days. The use of calendars dates back thousands of years and continues to be a fundamental tool for organizing and managing time in various aspects of life.

  2. • To register.
    • An almanac; a register of the days, weeks, and months in the year, &c.
