calendar

Year at a glance

A calendar is a system for organizing time into days, months, and years.

The familiar grid showing a month's days is also a calendar, as is any schedule of events: The band's touring calendar is packed through September.

To calendar something is to schedule it: Let's calendar a meeting for next week.
