Etymology

The term 'seasonally' is derived from the noun 'season', which itself comes from the Old French word 'saison', meaning 'a season, a period of the year'. The concept of 'season' has its roots in Latin, from 'satio', meaning 'sowing', which is related to agricultural practices and the cycles of nature. The adverb 'seasonally' began to be used in English by the late 19th century to describe events or phenomena that occur in connection with the changing seasons. Over time, it has been adopted into various contexts beyond agriculture, including economics, fashion, and travel, to indicate regularity or recurrence that aligns with specific times of the year.
