Theme week! -- times of the day, beginning with:


matutinal (muh-TOOT-n-l, muh-TYOOT-n-l) - adj., of, relating to, or occurring in the morning; early.


Especially either during dawn or just after waking. Okay, so this may have been a leettle cruel to toss at you on a Monday. Taken over in 1567 from Late Latin mātūtinālis, belonging to the morning/early, from Latin mātūtīnus, of the morning, from (Mater) Mātūta, Roman goddess of dawn.
