In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"; September was in fact the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when the first month changed from Kalendas Martius (1 March) to Kalendas Januarius (1 January).

Titera's Tidbit: Spic and Span
Dutch sailors, back in the days of tall masts, called a ship that had been so thoroughly overhauled as to be almost brand-new spiksplinternieuw, "new in every spike and splinter". Their British counterparts took up the phrase as a verb, "to spic and span", meaning to clean and renovate thoroughly. The phrase thus entered American vernacular, helped along by a household detergent of the same name.
