 September是九月


  为什么Septwolves是七匹狼
  而不是九匹狼?
  October是十月
  为什么Octopus是八爪鱼(章鱼)
  而不是十爪鱼?
  December是十二月
  为什么decade是十年
  而不是十二年?
  这是因为,在古罗马历中,一年只有十个月,也即有以下的对应关系:

详情请参考以下资料:
September (from Latin septem, "seven") or mensis September was originally the seventh of ten months on the ancient Roman calendar that began with March (mensis Martius, "Mars' month"). It had 29 days. After the reforms that resulted in a 12-month year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name.

也就是说,公历中月份的英语说法其实跟古罗马历相关,于是:
September其实是七月 
所以词根sept-是“七” 
Septwolves是七匹狼 
October其实是八月 
所以词根octo-是“八” 
octopus是八爪鱼 
December其实是十月 
所以词根dec-是“十” 
decade是十年 
decimeter是分米(十分之一米)
