The season between winter and summer when flowers bloom, weather gets warmer, and new life appears.
From 'spring' (the season, from the action of plants springing up) plus 'time.' The word dates to Old English and captures the idea of the season when nature springs forth with new growth.
Springtime has inspired more poetry, art, and music than any other season—probably because our brains experience increased dopamine and serotonin with longer daylight and warmth, literally making us more creative and hopeful!
