Because I hate leaving people completely out of a joke:
The original Roman calendar was a ten-month calendar, the last few of which were named for their numerical position – thus, the seventh month was September (septem = 7), the eighth month was October (octo = 8), etc. When two months (January and February) were added to the front of the calendar, the other months retained their names, even though the name of the now-twelfth month (December) begins with the Latin word for 10 (decem), and so forth. By analogy, then, the twenty-first month would be named Undevigintiber (undeviginti = 19, from unus de viginti, literally “one from twenty”).
As I said — stretching.
