Calends
The calends or kalends (Latin: kalendae) is the first day of every month in the Roman calendar. The English word "calendar" is derived from this word.
Examples of use of kalends
1. The Roman calendar used ides – along with kalends (the first of the month) and nones (the seventh day in March, May, July, and October; the fifth in the other months) – to base the rest of the days on. (We get the word "calendar" from kalends.) But the Roman calendar suffered from an unwieldy complexity, not unlike the Roman numeric system. (Imagine writing your phone number in Roman numerals!) And were it not for Julius Caesar, the word "ides" probably would not have survived in the English language.
