The month September comes from the number seven. Since September is not the 7th month of the year, what is the explanation for the inconsistancy?

Philosophers had an inaccurate calender year. They had to add 2 more months and a leap year to correct the problem. Because they weren't added at the same time, that shows the discrepancy.

Years ago, there was only ten months. That's why December means ten-deca. However over years, people have come to realize that months weren't falling into place. In fact, that's why we also have leap year. The Earth revolves around the sun 365 days a year. When people started noticing that there was snow in June, they knew that they hadn't enough days in the year. So, they had to rearrange and add more months

It was the name of the seventh month of the Roman calendar, from which our current calendar is derived.

I THINK THE CALENDAR WAS RE ADJUSTED...IT USED TO BE THE JULIAN UNTIL 1582 THEN SWITCHED TO GREGORIAN MAKING IT THE NINTH MONTH.
