November is the eleventh month of the year, grey and cool. In November, early November, the November deadline.
It is always capitalised and has thirty days. In Britain it holds Bonfire Night on the fifth and Remembrance Sunday, and it is the month with the least sunshine. The name means ninth month, from the old Roman calendar that began in March. Note Movember, the campaign in which men grow moustaches for men's health charities, which has made the month's name into a portmanteau.

November comes from Middle English Novembre, from Old French novembre. From Middle English Novembre, from Old French novembre, from Latin November (“ninth month”), from Latin novem, from Proto-Indo-European h₁néwn̥ (“nine”); + Latin -ber, from -bris, an adjectival suffix. November was the ninth month in the Roman calendar. Displaced native blōtmōnaþ, so called because the Anglo-Saxons, when they were pagans, would sacrifice in this month before the winter set in.
