SPRING
The season of Spring's name is derived from the very nature of the season itself, following the cold of the Winter season plants begin to grow more rapidly, practically springing out of the ground, hence Spring.
SUMMER
The word "summer" is the oldest word used to describe any of the seasons, with its roots being traced back about six thousand years to the people who spoke Indo-European. It is the word used to describe the period where the sun is up more than any other time of the year, and for longer periods throughout the day.
AUTUMN
The word "autumn" is of Latin origin, stemming from the word "autumnus", which itself is of uncertain origin, having arrived at english shore by way of the Old French word "atompne".
WINTER
The word "winter" stems from the Indo-European form "wed-", which also bore words such as "wet" and "water". Approximately two thousand years ago people speaking German used the word "wentruz" (literally meaning "wet season") to describe the rainy season that is Winter, and by one thousand years ago people speaking Old English had developed the word "winter".
