Etymology: The Romans had a practice of announcing the start of each month by calling out the sighting of the new moon, and the day they proclaimed it was the "kalendae," the first day of the month. From that day-name came "calendarium," an account book in which debts fell due on the kalends, and that is the root of the English word. Middle English borrowed it as "kalender" through Old French "calendier," and for centuries before that, English speakers had used the native "rīmbōc," literally a "number book," for the same purpose. The verb "calendared" is the past form of "calendar," so it simply means that something has been entered on a calendar, or in the older sense, that a list of dates or events has been arranged in order. The industrial sense of pressing cloth or paper between heated rollers to smooth it is a separate branch that grew from the same word, since the rollers worked in a way that laid things out in orderly sheets.
