Another quickie question...

Wow.  It's been awhile since my last post.  Well, here's a quickie for this first day of spring...

What does the word "equinox" mean?  Again, no cheating by running to Google... :)

let's see ... "equi" must be a stem that means "equal" - but i have no idea what "nox" means (except for a particularly peaceful people in Stargate). what does "equinox" mean?

"nox" is night, so "equal night" (I assume w/ day, meaning that day and night are the same).
