septimaladj.

Brit.

/ˈsɛptᵻml/, U.S.

/ˈsɛptəm(ə)l/

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin septimus , -al suffix¹; septime n.¹, -al suffix¹.

Etymology: In sense 1 < classical Latin septimus seventh (see septime n.¹) + -al suffix¹. With the later specific use in sense 1 compare French septimal (1856 in this sense). In sense 2 < septime n.¹ + -al suffix¹.

1. Originally: relating to, based on, or utilizing the number seven; based on division into seven parts; belonging to a group of seven. Cf. septenary adj. 1. In later use spec.: designating a system of numerical notation based on the number seven.
