Forms: Old English–early Middle English Pentecosten, Old English–1600s Pentecoste, Middle English Pencost, Middle English Pentcost, Middle English Pentecostes, Middle English Pentycoste, Middle English–1500s Penthecost, Middle English–1500s Penthecoste, Middle English–1600s Pentycost, Middle English– Pentecost, 1500s Penthecostes, 1500s–1600s Penticost, 1500s–1600s Penticoste; also Scottish pre-1700 Penthecoist, pre-1700 Penthecost, pre-1700 Penthicost.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin pentecoste; French pentecoste.

Etymology: Originally < post-classical Latin pentecoste (see below); subsequently reinforced by Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French pentecoste the Christian festival of Pentecost (late 10th cent. as pentecostem ; also in Anglo-Norman as penticoste , in Middle French as penthecoste ), the Jewish festival of Pentecost (1534; French pentecôte , in both senses) < post-classical Latin pentecoste (also penticoste ) the Jewish festival of Pentecost (Vetus Latina), the Christian festival of Pentecost (Vetus Latina, Vulgate) < Hellenistic Greek πεντηκοστή the Jewish festival of Pentecost (Septuagint), Whitsuntide, in Byzantine Greek also day of Pentecost (4th cent.; already in ancient Greek, short for πεντηκοστή μερίς the fiftieth part, denoting a type of tax), use as noun (short for πεντηκοστὸς ἡμέρα fiftieth day, in Tobit 2:1, 2 Maccabees 12:32) of feminine of πεντηκοστός fiftieth < πέντε five (see penta- comb. form) + -κοστός , alteration (after -κοντα , in e.g. πεντήκοντα fifty: see pentecontarch n.) of (Boeotian) -καστός , suffix forming ordinal numerals from twentieth to ninetieth ( < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin -cēsimus , in e.g. vīcēsimus twentieth: see vicesimal adj.); used to render Hebrew šāḇūʿōṯ Shavuot n. Compare Old Occitan pentacosta (1235; Occitan penatcosta ), Catalan Pentecosta (13th cent. as pentacosta ), Spanish Pentecostés (mid 13th cent. as Pentecoste , Pentacosta , etc., denoting the Christian festival, 1490 as Pentecostes denoting the Jewish festival), Italian pentecoste (1263 as pentechosta ). Compare Whitsun n.The Old and early Middle English form Pentecosten is after the Latin and Greek accusative singular. For parallels in other Germanic languages, compare Pinkster n.

1. Judaism. The harvest festival observed on the 6th Sivan, fifty days after the offering of the Omer on the second day of the Passover (see omer n. 2). Also: a synagogue ceremony held on the same day to celebrate the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.In the Old Testament, this festival is called the Feast of Weeks [after Hebrew ḥag šāḇūʿōṯ , ḥag haššāḇūʿōṯ in the Hebrew Scriptures: see Shavuot n., Feast (also Festival, Solemnity, etc.) of Weeks n. at week n. Phrases 4a] , falling seven weeks after the offering of the Omer on 16th Nisan; see Leviticus 23:9–16 and Deuteronomy 16:9–10. (Whereas Christians always celebrate Pentecost on a Sunday, the Jewish festival, being regulated by the moon, may fall on any day of the week.)

1900 G. T. Purves in J. Hastings Dict. Bible III. 741/1 It is at any rate certain that the Jews celebrated the sheaf-waving on Nis. 16, and Pentecost on the fiftieth day after (usually Sivan 6), without regard in either case to the day of the week.

1995 Church Times 28 Apr. 12/1 We learn that the linking of the harvest festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) with the revelation at Sinai, was a later development in Judaism, in reaction to the Christian festival.

2. Christian Church.

a. A festival observed on the seventh Sunday after Easter, in commemoration of events described in Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit is reported to have descended upon the disciples during the Jewish festival of Pentecost (sense 1); the day (Whit Sunday) or season (Whitsuntide) of this festival.The Resurrection of Christ is recorded as having taken place on the second day of the Passover, being that year the first day of the week. Seven weeks after that (and so again on the first day of the week) was the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. Hence these two Christian festivals are always held on the first day of the week (Sunday), and so in most cases do not coincide with the Jewish festivals.
