Definitions
Day or evening before a special event.
Word origin
From a variant of the Middle English noun even (itself from Old English ǣfen), with a pre-1200 loss of the terminal '-n', which was mistaken for an inflection. See also the now archaic or poetic even (“evening”), from the same source.
Used in a sentence
“She died on the eve of her 100th birthday.”
“on a cold winter's eve.”
“I love to see the shaking twig / Dance till the shut of eve”
