Octobriusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Octōber, with the ending modified to -ius, which seems to have been introduced by analogy from the names of the other months, such as Iānuārius, Mārtius, Iūlius, etc. Compare Septembrius, Novembrius, Decembrius. These innovative forms in -brius for Classical Latin -ber are rarely attested in antique written Latin (there is an example of Decembrius in the 6th century), but Kramer 1983 argues that it is likely the earlier-attested Koine Greek Σεπτέμβριος (Septémbrios), Ὀκτώβριος (Oktṓbrios), Νοέμβριος (Noémbrios), Δεκέμβριος (Dekémbrios) were taken from popular Latin spoken forms in -ius, rather than having their endings independently remodeled in Greek. Month names in -brius are attested in writing from Medieval Latin onwards, sometimes in texts that may have drawn on Eastern sources (such as the Laterculus Malalianus, based in part on the Χρονογραφία (Khronographía) of John Malalas).
