Morella's name died with her at her death. Of the mother I had never spoken to the daughter;—it was impossible to speak.

Traditionally held to be the superlative of πρό (pró, “before”) (compare πρότερος (próteros)), but it is unclear how such a contraction would come about. Could also be from a Proto-Indo-European *pr̥H- or *per-, with cognates including Lithuanian pirmas, Sanskrit पूर्व (pūrva), and Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬎𐬭𐬬𐬀 (paurva). In both cases, the ω (ō) and ᾱ (ā) forms are difficult to reconcile.
A more recent hypothesis derives the Attic and Doric forms from Proto-Hellenic *pro-atos.

From Proto-Hellenic *hekətón, from Proto-Indo-European *sm̥-ḱm̥tóm (“one hundred”), from *sem- + *ḱm̥tóm. The vowel of the first syllable is explained as from ἕν (hén). Cognates include Old English hundred (English hundred), Latin centum, Sanskrit शत (śatá), and Avestan 𐬯𐬀𐬙𐬀 (sata). According to Leiden scholars, another possibility is derivation from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ḱm̥tóm, which is a regular outcome of *dḱm̥tóm if Lubotsky's Law is taken to be true.

Well, dear editor, I suppose you are, like myself, wearied with the "nine-day wonder," and I will merely add that I have thought it possible that in this case, as in many others I have known, the amniotic sac, by some means, was ruptured and the fluid all passed out.

1889 July, A. H. Wilson, “Nine-day Wonder”, in J. J. Lawrence, editor, The Medical Brief, a Monthly Journal of Practical Medicine, volume XVII, number 7, St. Louis, Mo.: J. J. Lawrence, →OCLC, page 331

Harold Russell, who plays handless Homer Parrish in The Best Years of Our Lives, is not only a nine-day wonder in the movies but also one of the best-adjusted veterans of World War II. The most widely publicized double amputee of the war, Russell realizes that, though there is talk of his getting an Academy Award, he is strictly a one-shot and will probably act in no more movies.

1946 December 16, Bernard Frizell, “Handless Veteran: Amateur Actor Harold Russell has No Trouble with Hooks, a Great Deal with Anxious Friends”, in Henry R[obinson] Luce, editor, Life, volume 21, number 25, Chicago, Ill., New York, N.Y.: Time Inc., →ISSN, →OCLC, page 74, column 2

In his letter to this journal Mr. Lawrence remarked that some traders were waiting to see if "Condor" was merely a nine days' wonder before scheduling its use by their goods.

So far as we're concerned, the ashes of Endymion can stay buried for another two hundred years—or another two million. It doesn't matter; come the day when somebody stumbles over the tombstones, they'll just be an archaeological find: a nine day wonder. By then, we'll be out among the stars. Earth will be just our cradle.

1993 December, Brian Stableford, “The Cure for Love”, in The Cure for Love and Other Tales of the Biotech Revolution, [Rockville, Md.]: Borgo Press, published 2007, page 40

It's actually rather easy to assess the scientific influence of, for instance, fractals or chaos. […] You can't dismiss something as a nine-day wonder when it has survived for nine thousand days and is currently thriving.

Ed[ward] Feigenbaum and I enjoyed the giddy experience of being nine-day wonders. Yes, it's fun to walk along Madison Avenue and see your own book in bookshop windows.

The millage, which was approved by voters in 2012, is expected to contribute over $23m to the museum over ten years. “We felt strongly that if the DIA decides to go back for a millage at the end of this one, it should be up to the voters to decide, not the state legislature,” [Annmarie] Erickson says.

King Zhuang, for three years after he took the reins of government, issued no decree and formulated no policy. Therefore, one day the Right Commissioner of the Army, when attending on the Throne, made before the King an intimation, saying: "There is a bird which has perched or a hill-top in the south. For three years it has neither fluttered nor flown nor sung but kept silent without making any sound. What is the name of that bird?" In reply the King said: "For three years it has not fluttered in order thereby to grow its wings and feathers, and has neither flown nor sung in order thereby to look at the conditions of the people. Though it has not flown, yet once it starts flying, it will soar high up into the sky. Though it has not sung, yet once it starts singing, it will surprise everybody. Leave it as it has been. I, the King, understand what you mean."

Septuagint

en-proper noun

Septuagint (countable and uncountable, plural Septuagints)

Letter of Aristeas
Ptolemy II Philadelphus
Septuagint
Twelve Tribes of Israel

From Late Latin Septuaginta, lit. "The Seventy", a clipping of earlier descriptional names such as septuaginta translatio (“translation by the seventy”) and septuaginta interpretes (“the 70 interpreters”), calques of Koine Greek names such as οἱ ἐβδομήκοντα ἑρμηνευταί (hoi ebdomḗkonta hermēneutaí, “the 70 interpreters”) and οἱ Ο′ (hoi O′, “the LXX”), deriving from the popular (but probably mistaken) belief that its translation of the Torah had been produced in 72 days by a team of 72 Jewish scholars from Jerusalem (6 from each tribe) summoned to Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy II.

2006, Katrin Hauspie, Theodoret and Messianic Verses in the Septuagint version of Ezekiel, Michael Anthony Knibb (editor), The Septuagint and Messianism, Leuven University Press, Peeters Publishers (Peeters Leuven), page 503,
Traces of messianism in the Septuagint have occupied scholars for years; the Book of Ezekiel too has challenged attention in this specific domain of research.

2009, Jan Joosten, The Prayer of Azariah (DanLXX 3): Sources and Origin, Johann Cook (editor), Septuagint and Reception, BRILL, page 5,
The Septuagint originated, for the most part, as a translation of a source text. As such it represents a link—and a very important one—in the reception history of the Hebrew-Aramaic scriptures. But the Septuagint very soon turned into a literary and religious reference in its own right. […] The Septuagint itself became the starting point for a new reception history.

Other important works appeared that continued the discussion about the position of the Septuagint within postclassical Greek.

2022, William A. Ross, Postclassical Greek and Septuagint Lexicography, SBL Press, page 42

(biblical) An influential Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible produced in Alexandria in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC.

jubilee

en-noun

jubilee (countable and uncountable, plural jubilees)

/ˌd͡ʒuːbɪˈliː/

senses 3.3 and 3.4 when spelled jubile, obsolete

Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

From Late Middle English jubile (“Jewish practice of celebrating the end of a fifty-year period; (Roman Catholicism) year declared by the Pope for remission of sins; celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of an event; (figuratively) occasion of rejoicing”) [and other forms], from Middle French jubile, from Old French jubilee, jubileus (modern French jubilé), from Late Latin iūbilaeus (adjective, also treated as a noun), from Ancient Greek ἰωβηλαῖος (iōbēlaîos, “of a jubilee”), from ἰώβηλος (iṓbēlos, “jubilee”) + -ῐος (-ios, suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’ forming adjectives). Ἰώβηλος (Iṓbēlos) is derived from Hebrew יובל (yōḇēl, “ram, trumpet made from a ram’s horn; jubilee”) (because a ram’s horn trumpet was originally used to proclaim the event; see Leviticus 25:9), influenced by Latin iūbilum (“a cry, a shout”) and iūbilō (“to cheer, shout or sing joyfully”). Cognate with Italian giubileo, Spanish jubileo.
