Definition
The Latin name for the month of February, used in historical documents and formal contexts.
Etymology
From Latin 'februa' (purification ritual) plus '-arius' (pertaining to), literally meaning 'the month of purification.' This original Latin form is sometimes used in scholarly or formal historical writing.
Kelly Says
When Romans said 'Februarius,' they were honoring Lupercalia—a wild purification festival involving fire, nudity, and sacrifice—so your February comes from one of history's strangest religious celebrations.
