What Time Does an #Eve End and -a Day Begin? (as in #ChristmasEve, #NewYearsEve ... a #MidsummerNightsEve ...)
'A question a lot like that one' is linked through 'the main word' below. Here, I list a few 'root-words' that tie that word into our lexicon....
The word (not the name, which I'll discuss soon) “Eve” is probably built on ancient words that refer to the Time-after Sunset but -before Darkness (I once auditioned for a play (based on this book, I think) that referred to such a time as "The Velvet Hours").

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)
