Definition
The act of purification or cleansing, especially in the ritual sense, relating to ancient Roman practices.
Etymology
From Latin 'februare' (to purify) plus English suffix '-ation' (act or process), reviving a word connected to the Roman purification festival 'Lupercalia' and February's original meaning.
Kelly Says
This obscure word connects to the Romans' belief that late winter required spiritual and physical purification through ritual fire and water—the original idea of 'spring cleaning' was actually a sacred act, not just tidiness!
