FERIAL Meaning and Definition

1. The term "ferial" refers to something that is related to, or associated with, a specified day of the week. It originates from the Latin word "ferialis," which means "pertaining to a holiday" or "connected to a religious festival." Primarily used in religious or liturgical contexts, "ferial" is often employed to describe days of the week within a church calendar.

   In the Catholic Church, for example, "ferial" is used to designate weekdays or ordinary days that do not correspond to any particular feast or solemnity. These days are considered part of the usual liturgical cycle and are associated with regular religious observance, including daily prayers, readings, and worship. Ferial days are often contrasted with feast days, which are dedicated to the celebration of significant events or saints.

   Outside of religious usage, "ferial" can also be used more broadly to indicate any ordinary or non-festive day of the week. In this sense, it refers to the routine and regular aspects of daily life, contrasting with special occasions or holidays. The term is not as commonly used in everyday language but is occasionally employed in specific fields where days of the week are of particular relevance, such as scheduling, planning, or chronology.

2. Pert. to holidays.

Etymology of FERIAL

The word "ferial" comes from the Latin word "ferialis", which is derived from "feriae". In ancient Rome, "feriae" referred to specific days set aside for religious or civil celebrations and offerings to the gods. Over time, "ferialis" came to mean something related to holidays or festivals. In English, "ferial" is used to describe days of the week that are not part of the weekend or holidays, thus indicating ordinary or working days.
