释义 | idesn.α. Old English–Middle English idus, Middle English ydus. β. Middle English idis, Middle English jde (singular), Middle English yde (singular), Middle English ydees, Middle English– ide (singular), Middle English– ides. Also with capital initial. In the ancient Roman calendar (Julian and pre-Julian): the third of the three marker days in each month, notionally the day of the full moon, which divides the month in half, i.e. the 15th of March, May, July, October, and the 13th of the other months.The days after the nones were reckoned forward to the ides; hence such expressions as ‘the fifth of the ides of October’ (or ‘the fifth ides of October’, or ‘the fifth ide of October’), loosely rendering Latin ante diem quintum Idus Octobres (or Octobris) the fifth day (counting inclusively) before the ides of October, i.e. the 11th of October.
