Septuagesima
Septuagesima (; in full, Septuagesima Sunday) is the name for the ninth Sunday before Easter, the third before Ash Wednesday. The term is sometimes applied to the seventy days starting on Septuagesima Sunday and ending on the Saturday after Easter. Alternatively, the term is sometimes applied also to the period commonly called Shrovetide or Gesimatide (the Pre-Lenten Season) that begins on this day and ends on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins. The other two Sundays in this period of the liturgical year are called Sexagesima and Quinquagesima, the latter sometimes also called Shrove Sunday. The earliest date on which Septuagesima Sunday can occur is January 18 (Easter falling on March 22 in a common year) and the latest is February 22 (Easter falling on April 25 in a leap year).

septuagesima
Septuagesima is a term from the Christian liturgical calendar, particularly in the Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions. It refers to the ninth Sunday before Easter and the third Sunday before Lent, marking the beginning of the liturgical season called Septuagesima. The term comes from the Latin word for "seventieth", although it is actually approximately sixty days before Easter. During this period, practices such as use of the penitential color purple and omission of the Alleluia are often observed in preparation for the solemn season of Lent.
Webster Dictionary

Septuagesima
sep-tū-a-jes′i-ma, n. the third Sunday before Lent—the seventieth day before Easter (the common but dubious explanation).—adj. Septuages′imal, consisting of seventy: counted by seventies. [L. septuagesimus—septem, seven. The name, like Quinquagesima and Sexagesima, was most probably adopted on a false analogy with Quadragesima, the Latin name of Lent.]
