覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
decima はラテン語の「10」に結び付く語で、decimal や December と同じ数の手掛かりを持つ。「10行で一まとまりの詩形」と覚え、compose a decima、a ten-line decima のような組み合わせで定着させる。特にスペイン語圏の伝統的な韻律詩を思い浮かべるとよい。
Connect decima with the number ten. Its numerical base also appears in familiar words such as decimal, so the central image should be a poem arranged in ten lines. Picture a poet composing a compact stanza and carefully matching each of its ten lines to a traditional meter and rhyme scheme. Useful combinations include “compose a decima,” “a ten-line decima,” and “the rhyme scheme of a decima.” This distinguishes the word from a general stanza, which can contain many different numbers of lines.

decima の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 decima（10番目）に由来し、decem（10）から派生。十分の一税（tithe）を意味した。関連語：decimal（小数）、December（元は10番目の月）。「10」に関わる概念がこの語根に集約されている。
Decima comes from Latin decima, the feminine form of decimus, meaning “tenth,” which is derived from decem, “ten.” Related numerical words include decimal, referring to a system based on ten, and December, originally the tenth month in the early Roman calendar. The poetic term reflects the defining ten-line organization of the form; in Spanish it is commonly written décima with an accent.
