Meaning of Bissextile
The day which is added every fourth year to the month of February, in order to make the year agree with the course of the sun. It was called “bissextile” because in the Roman calendar it was fixed on the sixth day before the calends of March (whiqh answers to the twenty-fourth day of February) , and this day was counted twice. The first was called bissextus prior, and the other bissextus posterior, but the latter was properly called “bissextile” or “intercalary” day.
