calendskalendsn.

/ˈkaləndz/
Forms: [Old English singular calend, kalendus], Middle English calendis, kalendis, kalendes, (singular kalende, Middle English calende), (Middle English kalendez, kalendus, Middle English kalandes, Middle English–1500s kalendas), Middle English–1600s calendes, (1500s kalendies, callends, 1600s calands), 1500s– calends, kalends.
Etymology: < Latin kalendae, kalendas, noun plural, first day of the month, on which the order of days was proclaimed; < root kal-, cal-, which appears in Latin calāre, Greek καλεῖν to call, proclaim. (Or < French kalendes, 13th cent. in Littré.) The singular calend is rare and obsolete; it occurs in Old English in the sense ‘month’. No singular was used in Latin.
