Forms: form: Easter terms
Etymology: From Late Middle English ester term (“Christian season of Easter; spring quarter of the year”), from ester (“Easter”) + term, terme (“limit of a span of time; point in time”). Ester is derived from Old English ēastre, apparently from Ēastre (name of a goddess whose festival was celebrated at the vernal equinox), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *Austrǭ, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ews- (“to become light; to dawn”); terme is borrowed from Old French terme, from Latin terminus (“a bound, boundary, limit, end; in Medieval Latin, also a time, period, word, covenant, etc.”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *térmn̥ (“stump, end, boundary”) (whence also thrum). By surface analysis, Easter + term. The Christian feast day of Easter, which falls between 22 March and 25 April, often occurs during this term. As regards sense 1 (“fourteenth day of the first lunar month of spring”), Easter is the first Sunday following this day.
Senses: glosses: Synonym of Paschal term (“the fourteenth day of the first lunar month of spring, formerly used in calculating dates”).
