autumnusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From earlier auctumnus, of unclear ultimate origin:

• From Proto-Indo-European *h₃ewǵ- (“cold”) (compare Old Irish úacht, Lithuanian áušti (“to cool off”), Old Armenian ոյծ (oyc)).
• Borrowed from an Etruscan word, like Etruscan 𐌀𐌕𐌖𐌍𐌄 (atune, “autumn”).
• From Proto-Indo-European *h₂sews- (“dry”), as in "drying up season."

Possibly influenced by auctus (“enriched, enlarged, ample”).
