Almanac

al′ma-nak, n. a register of the days, weeks, and months of the year, .— n. Almanog′rapher , an almanac-maker. [Most prob. the original of the word as in Fr., It., and Sp. was a Spanish-Arabic al-manākh . Eusebius has almenichiaka , an Egyptian word, prob. sig. 'daily observation of things,' but the history of the word has not been traced, and it is hazardous without evidence to connect this with the Arabic word.]
