Decem means 10 in Latin. December originally meant October, and the Roman calendar originally had only ten months. Later, the Roman emperor decided to add two months at the end of the year.

There is an example in Aesop's Fables that God failed to remind readers. It is true to look forward and backward, but it is most important to grasp the present.
