/ɒkˈtəʊbə/, U.S.

/ɑkˈtoʊbər/

Forms: Old English–1600s Octobre, Old English– October, Middle English Hoketober, Middle English Octobris, Middle English–1500s Octobr; Scottish pre-1700 Octobere, pre-1700 Octobr, pre-1700 Octobre, pre-1700 Octobris, pre-1700 1700s– October. Also represented by the abbreviations Oct, Oct., 8^ber, 8^br, 8^bre.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin Octōbr-, Octōber; French octobre.

Etymology: Originally < classical Latin Octōbr-, Octōber < octo eight (see octo- comb. form; the eighth month of the year in early Roman calendars) + -ber (also -bris ), suffix of uncertain origin, occurring in the names of months; subsequently reinforced by Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French octobre (1213; 1119 as october , uitovre ; French octobre ). Post-classical Latin had also the analogical forms Octember (6th cent.; c1000 in a British source: see quot. OE¹ in note below), Octimber (6th cent.); compare Old French octembre (13th cent.).Compare Old Occitan octobre (1292), octoyre (c1350), etc., Catalan octobre (1507; c1300 as vuytobri , a1336 as huytubri , etc.), Spanish octubre (1225; 1235 as ochubre , 1236 as octobre , etc.), Portuguese outubro (1391 as oytubro ), Italian ottobre (1211); also Middle Dutch october (Dutch oktober ), Middle High German october (German Oktober ), Old Swedish october (Swedish oktober ). On the development of the ancient Roman calendar see note at September n. In form Octobris immediately after classical Latin Octobris. In abbreviated forms 8^ber , 8^bre with the numerical symbol 8 representing classical Latin octo (see octo- comb. form and discussion at that entry). In Old English and Middle English texts Latin October (and variants) is often used for the month (in Old English sometimes alongside the vernacular name Winterfylleð ), e.g.:OE Old Eng. Martyrol. (Julius) Oct. 225 On ðam teoðan monðe on geare bið xxxi daga; þone mon nemneð on Leden Octember, ond on ure geðeode Winterfylleð.OE Menologium 183 Se teoða monð on folc fereð, frode geþeahte, October on tun us to genihte, Winterfylleð, swa hine wide cig[a]ð igbuende Engle and Seaxe.a1225 ( Rule St. Benet (Winteney) (1888) 99 Fram kalendas octobris, þæt is fram þære haliȝe rode dæiȝe, oð lenten rædan þa ȝeswustre heore becc. Compare also Old English Octobrismōnað ( < post-classical Latin Octobris (see above) + month n.¹; compare October month at Compounds 1):lOE Anglo-Saxon Chron. (Laud) anno 1114 Þises geares wæron swiðe mycele windas on Octobris monðe.
