ceremony

From Latin caerimonia, a religious rite. Where the Latin word itself came from is not known; the old Roman guess that it honoured the Etruscan town of Caere is a story about the word rather than evidence for it.

A is the formal shape an occasion is given, so it sits close to without being one: a is the celebrating, a is the ordered part with the vows and the speeches. The adjective is ceremonia, and is the word for the mood such an occasion is meant to have.
