Etymology of NOVENNIAL

The word "novennial" is derived from the Latin term "novennis", which combines the word "novem" meaning "nine" and "ennis" meaning "year". In Latin, "novem" refers to the number nine, and "ennis" denotes "belonging to". Therefore, "novennis" translates to "lasting for nine years" or "occurring every nine years". From this Latin root, the adjective "novennial" was formed in English to describe events or occurrences happening at intervals of nine years.
