How Spring Got Its Name ๐ธ ๐ฑ ๐ฃ
- ๐ฑ The spring season gets its name from the verb "spring." It's a nod to the flowers and plants springing up, springing open, and bursting into blossom.
- ๐ฃ The word itself comes from the Old English word "springan," which means "to leap, burst forth, fly up; spread, grow."
- ๐ธ During the 14th century, the word came to describe the spring season, the time when plants wake from their winter sleep and bloom.
- ๐ Before that, the word "Lent" was used to describe the season: "In the past it was the main word for โspring.' Lent surfaced as โlencten,' that is, โlengten': the season got its name because in spring days lengthen." (full article here)
