词源

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