The word "Kalendar" is derived from the Latin word "calendarium", which refers to an account book or register. In ancient Rome, this term was used specifically for the account books used to record debts and credits, as well as to mark the first day of each month. Over time, "calendarium" came to be associated with the list of days and important events or festivals in a particular year, forming what we now know as a calendar. The word eventually entered English in the form of "calendar" or "kalendar", still retaining its original meaning.
