Etymology
editBorrowed from Spanish octava, from Latin octāvus (“eighth”). As for the sense of "postponement", according to Panganiban (1973), at least two old folk informers affirm that during their younger years, a postponement in utaba meant "the same day next week" which would be the eighth day.
