  • the celebration of an event at number of months. This is derived from anniversary, rather than the gratingly imperfect "We are celebrating our 6 month anniversay." Based on "mensis" L month, and versus, pp vertere to turn. I first used it in the 1960's at University of Chicago, I find it on the web from others, who have had the same concern. I imagine it is much older.
