A public notice or proclamation, especially one announcing an upcoming event or schedule in medieval times.
From Late Latin calenda, related to calendae (the first day of the month in the Roman calendar). The word evolved through medieval Latin to mean any public announcement or calendar notice.
The Romans called the first day of each month 'Kalendae'—which is where our word 'calendar' comes from! This root word shows how the concept of timekeeping has been central to civilization for thousands of years.
