单词 sexagesima
释义

Sexagesiman.

Brit. /ˌsɛksəˈdʒɛsᵻmə/, U.S. /ˌsɛksəˈdʒɛsəmə/
Inflections: Plural Sexagesimae.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin sexāgēsima.
Etymology: < classical Latin sexāgēsima sixtieth part, in post-classical Latin also sixtieth day (counting inclusively) before Easter (7th cent.; from 8th cent. in British sources), uses as noun (respectively short for sexāgēsima pars sixtieth part and sexagesima dies sixtieth day) of feminine of sexāgēsimus sixtieth < sexāgintā sixty (see sexagenary adj.) + -ēsimus , extended form (after vīcēsimus ) of -simus , suffix used to form ordinal numerals. Compare earlier sexagesime n. Compare also earlier Quinquagesima n. and Septuagesima n. With sense 2 compare earlier sexagene n., sexagesm n. In liturgical use in post-classical Latin after quinquagesima Quinquagesima n., but apparently only as an arithmetic approximation, since even using inclusive counting the period comprises 57 days, not the 60 which its name would suggest (compare discussion at Septuagesima n.). Attested earlier in an abbreviated form, although it is uncertain whether this is to be interpreted as representing the present word or sexagesime n.:c1384 Table of Lessons in Bible (Wycliffite, E.V.) (1850) 685 The Sonday in Sexages.
1. Christian Church. In full Sexagesima Sunday. The second Sunday before Lent and hence the eighth Sunday before Easter. Formerly also: †the week after this Sunday; the period beginning on this Sunday and ending on the Wednesday after Easter, as in †Sunday in (the) Sexagesima, etc. (cf. Septuagesima n. 2).The name was withdrawn from the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar in 1969, and no longer figures in some modern Anglican liturgies.
