Quadragesima In English, before the word Lent was used, we used the Latin word quadragesima which is the translation of the Greek word tessarakoste, the "fortieth day" before Easter. Versions of this word is still used in some languages: * Spanish: cuaresma * Portuguese: quaresma * French: carême * Italian: quaresima * Croatian: korizma * Irish: Carghas * Welsh: C(a)rawys
