Origin and Etymology of the word IDES.

From An Etymology Dictionary of the English Language, by Walter W. Skeat, 1893

 

IDES,  the 15th day of March, May, July, and October, and the 13th of other months.  (F.,—L.)   'The ides of March;' Jul. Cæsar, i. 2. 18, 19.—F. ides, 'the ides of a month;' Cot.—Lat. īdus, the ides.   β. Of disputed origin; we can hardly derive it from a supposed īduare, as that would rather be a derivative from īdus.   It is prob. connected with Skt. indu, the moon.
