单词 month
释义
month
(once / 19 pages)
n

A year is divided into twelve months, starting with January and ending with December. If it takes you a month to read a book, it takes approximately thirty days.
A month is a unit of time that corresponds to the phases of the moon — which is the reason the word month, which comes from the Proto-Germanic menoth, is closely related to the word moon, whose root is menon. People have kept track of days this way since Paleolithic times, and even those who don't use the Gregorian, twelve-month calendar, still divide a year into months based on the moon.
WORD FAMILY
month: monthly, months+/bimonthly: bimonthlies/monthly: bimonthly, monthlies, semimonthly
USAGE EXAMPLES
