August<br />
- not just as a proper noun for the<br />
month, but as as adjective<br />
August is related to the Latin augur, meaning "consecrated by<br />
augury or "auspicious." In 8 B.C. the Roman Senate changed<br />
the name of their month "Sextilis" to "Augustus." Middle English<br />
speakers inherited the name of the month of August, but<br />
it wasn't until the mid-1600s that "august" came to be used<br />
generically in English, to refer to someone with imperial qualities.<br />
He had dared to challenge the views of an august body of imperial historians.<br />
