Etymology of MORE OCTENNIAL

The term "more octennial" is not a widely recognized or commonly used phrase, and there is no specific etymology for it. It seems to be a combination of two separate words, "more" and "octennial", which are described below:

1. More: The word "more" comes from Middle English "more" or "mo", which was derived from Old English "māra", meaning greater or additional. It has been used as a comparative form of "many" or "much" to indicate a larger quantity or degree.

2. Octennial: The word "octennial" is derived from the Latin word "octennis", which means "lasting for eight years". It combines "octo", meaning "eight", and "-ennial", which is a suffix denoting a specific period of years. Therefore, "octennial" is an adjective used to describe events or occurrences happening every eight years.
