_Derivation of AEra._--Will any of your correspondents inform me of the
derivation of the word _aera_, as, if derived from the Latin word _aera_,
no classical authority that I know of can be adduced. In Ainsworth I
find _aera_ signifies a kind of weed amongst corn; a mark upon money to
show the value; a remarkable period of time.
