记忆方法
1、ag = 做（拉丁 agere 义为「做」）：agenda 字面就是"该做的事"，开会要办的那几件。
2、同一根一串背：act（行动）、agent（代理人，做事的人）、agitate（煽动，此处指搅个不停），全带着 ag。
3、它本是复数形式（拉丁 agendum 的复数），日常当单数用没问题，指"其中一项"要说 an item on the agenda；g 读 /dʒ/，别读成硬 g。

- agenda

agenda: [17] Agenda is the plural of Latin agendum, which is the gerundive form of the verb agere ‘do’ (see AGENT); it thus means literally ‘things to be done’. When the word first entered the language it was given an anglicized singular form, agend, with the plural agends, but this seems to have disappeared by the 18th century. The formal plurality of agenda is still often insisted on by purists, but it has been used as a singular noun since the mid 18th century.
=> act, agent - agenda (n.)
- 1650s, from Latin agenda, literally "things to be done," neuter plural of agendus, gerundive of agere "to do" (see act (n.)). Originally theological (opposed to matters of belief), sense of "items of business to be done at a meeting" first attested 1882. "If a singular is required (=one item of the agenda) it is now agendum, the former singular agend being obsolete" [Fowler].
