embern.²

Brit.

/ˈɛmbə/, U.S.

/ˈɛmbər/

Forms: Now only attributive Old English ymbren, 1500s–1700s embring, embryng, 1500s imbring, ymbring, 1500s–1600s imbering, embering. β. in combinations Middle English umbri-(ü), ymbri-, Middle English ymber-, Middle English embyr-, ymbre-, 1500s embre-, ( amber-, ymbar-), 1600s– ember.

Etymology: The Old English ymbren (apparently neuter: plural ymbren), perhaps a corruption (due to attributive use) of Old English ymbryne (masculine), period, revolution of time, < ymb about, round + ryne course, running. It seems however not wholly impossible that the word may have been due to popular etymology working upon some Vulgar Latin corruption of quatuor tempora; compare German quatember Ember-tide; for the possibility of Old English mb for Latin mp, and for the suffix, compare Old English ęmbren from Latin amp(h)ora. The Old Norse imbru(-dagar), Old Swedish ymber(-dagar) appear to be < English; Old Swedish had also tamper-dagar < tempora.

The English name of the four periods of fasting and prayer (Latin quatuor tempora) appointed by the Church to be observed respectively in the four seasons of the year. Each of these fasts occupies three days, viz. a Wednesday and the following Friday and Saturday; these are called Ember days, and the weeks in which they occur are called Ember weeks. Since the Council of Placentia a.d. 1095, the Ember days have been the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday next following (1) the first Sunday in Lent, (2) Whitsunday, (3) Holy Cross Day, 14 September, (4) St. Lucia's Day, 13 December. In the Roman Church the Ember-Saturdays, and in the Church of England the Sundays immediately following, are the days on which ordinations usually take place.
