prima vera

Etymology
From the plural of, turned into a feminine noun. Attested in Late Latin glosses. Originally referred to the early part of spring, but eventually took on the general sense of 'spring' in all descendant languages, some later than others. This semantic shift pushed the derivatives of Vulgar Latin and, which had originally meant 'spring', into taking on the sense of 'summer' in the Balkans and Iberia respectively.
