Etymology
1. * From Middle French calandre, from Late Latin calendra, altered from Latin cylindrus (“cylinder”), from Ancient Greek κύλινδρος (kúlindros). Doublet of calander and cylinder.
2. * This spelling calender was introduced in the 17th century to differentiate the machine from the chronological senses of calendar. See: Latin Nouns '
cylindrus', Ancient Greek Nouns '
κύλινδρος'.
