date

date
The time of an occurrence or happening; an indication of time, as upon a coin or an instrument. The date of a written instrument means the year, month, and day of its execution. Estate of Carpenter, 172 Cal 268, 156 P 464. The word is frequently used to designate the actual time when an event takes place; but as applied to written instruments, its primary signification is the time specified therein. This is the meaning which its derivation from the Latin "datus," meaning "given," most naturally suggests. This primary meaning is not time in the abstract, nor time taken absolutely, but, as its derivation indicates, it is the time given or specified–time in some way ascertained or fixed. The date of a deed is not the time when it was actually executed, but the time of its execution, as given or stated in the deed itself; the date of a charge in an account not necessarily the time when the article charged was actually furnished, but the time given or set down in the account in connection with such charge.
