Starting in the 14th century, that time of year was called âspringing timeââa reference to plants âspringingâ from the ground. In the 15th century this got shortened to âspring-time,â and then further shortened in the 16th century to just âspring.â. âSummerâ came from the Old English name for that time of year, sumor. This, in turn, came from the Proto-Germanic sumur-, which itself came from the Proto-Indo-European root sam- (sam-seems to be a variant of the Proto-Indo-European sem-, meaning âtogether / one).
