Ordinary Time is actually a pretty sad translation of the Latin with is Time thoughout the year. The English use of Ordinary is from the Latin Ordinalis which means ordered time, as in numbered:
from the website About.com Catholicism:
Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" because the weeks are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo, from which we get the English word order. Thus, Ordinary Time is in fact the ordered life of the Church-the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the Christmas and Easter seasons) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchfulness and expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. A lot happens in Ordinary Time, everything that is celebrated in the life of Christ outside of His Birth (which is the Christmas Season), preparing for His Birth (which is Advent), His Passion and Death (which is the Easter Triduum) or preparing for His Passion and Death (which is Lent) or celebrating His Resurrection (which is Easter) - EVERYTHING ELSE happens in "Ordinary Time".
