## Latin
### Alternative forms

* settember

### Etymology

By haplology from earlier *septemo-mēmbris (“of or pertaining to the seventh month”), from Proto-Italic *septemo-mēnzris, from septem (“seven”) + *mēnsris, from mens- (“month”) +‎ -ris. In the Roman calendar, the year began with Mārtius (“March”), and September was the seventh month of the year.

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /sepˈtem.ber/, [s̠ɛpˈt̪ɛmbɛr]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /sepˈtem.ber/, [sepˈt̪ɛmber]

### Adjective

September (feminine Septembris, neuter Septembre); third-declension three-termination adjective
* of September
** 106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Letters to Atticus I.1.10:cum Romae a iudiciis forum refrixerit, excurremus mense Septembri legati ad Pisonem, ut ianuario revertamur.(please add an English translation of this quotation)

#### Usage notes

In Classical Latin, month names were regularly used as adjectives, generally modifying a case-form of mēnsis m sg (“month”) or of one of the nouns used in the Roman calendar to refer to specific days of the month from which other days were counted: Calendae f pl (“calends”), Nōnae f pl (“nones”), Īdūs f pl (“ides”). However, the masculine noun mēnsis could be omitted by ellipsis, so the masculine singular forms of month names eventually came to be used as proper nouns.
The accusative plural adjective forms Aprīlīs, Septembrīs, Octōbrīs, Novembrīs, Decembrīs are ambiguous in writing, being spelled identically to the genitive singular forms of the nouns; nevertheless, the use of ablative singular forms in -ī and comparison with the usage of other month names as adjectives supports the interpretation of -is as an accusative plural adjective ending in Classical Latin phrases such as "kalendas Septembris".

#### Declension

Third-declension three-termination adjective.
* In medieval and New Latin, the ablative singular can also be found as Septembre.

### Proper noun

September m sg (genitive Septembris); third declension
* September
    Synonyms: mensis September, mensis september
** 1938 [1108], “Ad Thomam electum archiepiscopum Eboracensem”, in S. Anselmi cantuariensis archiepiscopi opera omnia, volume 5th, page 390:Mando itaque vobis, ut octavo Idus Septembris sitis apud matrem vestram ecclesiam Cantuariensem, ad faciendum quod facere debetis, et ad suspiciendam consecrationem vestram.(please add an English translation of this quotation)
