Spring is the most hopeful and spectacular season when there is a sense of happiness and colour all around us. Poets and writers have described spring so tenderly and lovingly. So, why not learn some fascinating words that are used to welcome this delightful season? Read on to know more. The cruel winters are behind us. The chirping of birds, the comfort of weather, and the colours of the flowers depict the comforting warmness in the air. Though there have been some pessimists in the literature who had qualms about the spring, for example, T.S Eliot starts his masterpiece with hard-hitting lines “April is the cruelest month”. But if we put such pessimism aside, there are many words in the English language that can be used to welcome the beautiful spring season. Here are some of those. Vernalagnia The word is derived from the Greek word lagneia which roughly translates to lust. But Vernalagnia is not just that, it is a formal name for something we popularly know as “Spring fever”. Spring fever brings out the most romantic and brighter mood in even the hardest of people. Interestingly, Spring fever’s meaning in the 19th-century dictionary of American English is a listless feeling that can be caused by the first sudden increase of temperature in spring. Reverdie This French word has a long history in its native language as far as the 14^th century. Later the word was adopted by English in the late 1800s. The word is derived from the verb reverdiewhich translates to something becoming green again. A reverdie is a dance, poem, or song that is performed to celebrate the return of spring. Erumpent and Breard The word that describes the re-emerging of the plants from above the ground which specifically happens in spring is described perfectly by the adjective used in the 17^th century called erumpent. It also means anything that bursts out. In the same way, the presence of a plant above the ground is also known as breard. So, two words give out the same meaning. Spring is also known as lamb-storms, winnol-weather, and after-winter If we dive into the subject of weather then there are many words in the English language that can be used to describe spring. Words like lamb storms are nothing but thunderstorms that happens in spring when the lambs are born. After-winter is self-explanatory and winnol-weather is stormy cold weather that occurs at the feast day of St.Winwaloe which comes on 3^rd March. So, what is your favourite word for spring?
