单词 | nones |
释义 | nonesn.1 In the ancient Roman calendar (Julian and pre-Julian): the second of the three marker days in each month, the ninth day (by inclusive reckoning) before the ides, i.e. the 7th of March, May, July, October, and the 5th of the other months.The days after the calends were reckoned forward to the nones; hence such expressions as ‘the third of the nones of March’ (or ‘the third nones of March’), loosely rendering Latin ante diem tertium nonas Martias (or Martii) the third day (counting inclusively) before the nones of March, i.e. the 5th of March.
