i started thinking about why spring isn’t named “verus” or “vernus”, since “autumn” is derived from the latin word “autumnus”, but then i realised summer and winter are also derived from old english (and further derived from old german or sanskrit)! so i propose an idea: what do you guys think about the names spring → vernus/verus, winter → hiem/brum, summer → este (similar to the french word for summer, été)/aestate. this isn’t anything revolutionary or maybe even particularly smart but it’s something that’s been on my mind. i’m a bit of a latin fiend, so i’ve always loved english words that are derived from latin.

p.s. maybe the tag here is supposed to be “meta” instead of “discussion”, i’m new here, so 🤷‍♂️
