    Etymology

    From Middle English Februarie, februari, februare, from Latin Februārius (“the month of the Februa”), from Fēbrua (“the Purgings, the Purifications”), a Roman holiday two days after its ides (i.e., Feb. 15), + -arius (“-ary: forming adjectives”). Fēbrua from fēbruum (“purging”), from an earlier Sabine word, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewh₂- (“smoke, haze”) and thus cognate with English thio- (“sulfurous”) and Ancient Greek θεῖον (theîon, “sulfur”) or from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰris, an extension of the root *dʰegʷʰ- (“to burn”) and thus cognate with English fever and Latin febris. A relatinization abandoning feoverel, from feverier.
