octubre
/oɡˈtubɾe/ · B1 · noun · m
October
🍂🎃 octubre = octo, Latin for eight: like the 8 legs of an octopus
The Roman year started in March, so October was the eighth month. Spanish keeps the Latin octo- root, which is also in octopus (8 legs) and octagon (8 sides). Note the spelling: it's octubre with a u, not octobre.
