Latin

Etymology

By syncope from earlier *decumo-mēmbris, analogically to septem : september, from earlier *decumo-mēnsris "of the tenth month", from the ordinal stem decem (“ten”) + *mēnsris, from mens- (“month”) + -ris. In the Roman calendar, the year began with mārtius (“March”), and december was the tenth month of the year.
