'#NewYearsDay on #January1' seems #Arbitrary (and kinda *is*; the #Arbiters being 'the Roman Consuls') | @HankGreen @OnThisDaycom @Wikipedia @247WallSt #NewEnglandHistoricalSociety
What I show here is 'the group of words' that couch "that word" (below hyperlinked to the 'On This Day'-page from which I deduced 'the reason January 1 (rather than March 25 or some astrologically set time) is New Year's Day) into your vocabulary ... deeper meanings that 'firm the foundations' upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Arbitrary” is built on ancient words that mean "to Come-, Go To."
#Arbitral #Arbitrariness #Arbitrarily #Arbiter
but 'arbitrary' doesn't mean "wrong" or "useless" ...

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
