Some people find that knowing a word for a certain thing makes them pay it greater attention. Chances are very high that, after having slogged through the cold and gloom of several months of winter, you will not need to be reminded that spring is just around the corner; in the event you are the sort of person who overlooks the slight warmth of a breeze foreshadowing the end of winter, or misses the crocuses beginning to flower, it may be handy to carry around with you a word for the beginning of this new season.

“Songbirds begin to sing early in the primaveral season, the Blackbird often in January, and the Thrush soon follows.” Thomas Furley Foster, The Pocket Encyclopædia of Natural Phenomena, 1827
