36: jubilee Jan 13, 2015

Hello everyone. Today's word is 'jubilee'. the word comes from from late Latin, "jubilaeus annus" "(year) of jubilee," That word is based on Hebrew "yō b ēl", originally ‘ram's-horn trumpet,’ with which the jubilee year was proclaimed. Although today we do not use rams' horns, we still do like to celebrate everything with lots of noise.
