Eve n.
1. Evening. [Poetic]
Winter oft, at eve resumes the breeze. --Thomson.
2. The evening before a holiday, -- from the Jewish mode of reckoning the day as beginning at sunset, not at midnight; as, Christmas eve is the evening before Christmas; also, the period immediately preceding some important event. “On the eve of death.”
Eve churr Zoöl., the European goatsucker or nightjar; -- called also night churr, and churr owl.
