Beware The Ides Of…. Oh Nevermind
Posted by Archer on March 15, 2008
It occured to me that the Ides of March means absolutely nothing to me. Should it?
Just asking.
From the Online Etymology Dictionary:
ides (pl.) c.1330, “middle day of a Roman month,” from Fr. Ides (12c.), from L. idus “the eighth day after nones,” a word perhaps of Etruscan origin. The 15th of March, May, July, and October; the 13th of other months.
Any opinions?
