I think it's because December used to be the tenth month in the Roman calendar before the Gregorian calendar took over. Dec = Ten

There used to be a 10 month calender, in which December was the last, and so was named after the tenth month.

Before the Romans added two months to the year, July and August, named after Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar, DECember would of been the tenth month. Hence OCTober isn't the eighth month, NOVember isn't the ninth, SEPTember isn't the seventh.

In Latin, decem means "ten". December was also the tenth month in the Roman calendar.
December is the twelfth and last month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar.

It was the tenth month. In Latin, decem means "ten". December was also the tenth month in the Roman calendar until a monthless winter period was divided between January and February.
