Labor day

It's the First Monday of September, it means Labor Day.


"Labor"(Lavoro in Italian) is a Latin word meaning "Toil","Trouble".


The origin could be "Labi" used to indicate somebody who was hunched because of fatigue but it is just a theory.


Common words that derive from "Labor" are "Collaborate" and "Elaborate".


So don't forget to stand straight and collaborate.


Enjoy your holiday.
