Latin

Etymology

Ellipsis of * (“springtime”), from tempus (“time”) +‎ vēr (“spring”) +‎ -ānus (adjective-forming suffix). Compare hībernum (“winter”), an ellipsis of the attested phrase tempus hībernum 'wintertime'. The original sense of 'spring' survives in Corsican and Sardinian. It is attested in medieval Ibero-Romance as well, but there has since been a shift to the sense of 'summer' due to the derivatives of prīma vēra (originally 'early spring') taking over the general sense of 'spring'.
