A blooming or flowering of plants, especially in spring.
From Old English 'blōwan' (to bloom) plus the suffix '-th' denoting a state or condition. The word evolved in Middle English to describe the season or act of flowering in plants.
This archaic word captures what Shakespeare's world called the burst of spring color—it's the direct ancestor of our modern 'bloom,' but 'blowth' sounds more poetic because it emphasizes the sudden, forceful opening of flowers.
