Today’s Spanish word of the day is “mes”.
It’s a masculine noun meaning “month”.
The word “mes” comes from Latin mensis, which also meant “month” and is etymologically related to words such as “menstrual” and “menstruation”. Despite coming from Anglo Saxon, the English word “moon” ultimately derives from the same Proto Indo-European root as Spanish “mes” and Latin mensis.
