Etymology

The word 'seasonal' originates from the Middle English term 'sesoun', which derives from the Old French 'seson' and the Latin word 'seasลnalis', from 'seasลnis', meaning 'of a season'. The concept of seasons has been significant for humanity throughout history, dictating agricultural practices, social activities, and cultural events. As societies evolved, the term came to encompass various aspects of life that fluctuate according to seasonal changes, including climate, fashion, and even economic activity. By the 20th century, 'seasonal' had established itself in the English language as a descriptor for variations associated with different times of the year, solidifying its relevance in both natural and commercial contexts.
