season

Season comes from Middle English sesoun, borrowed from Old French seson/saison, meaning "time of sowing," which traces back to Latin satiō, "act of sowing," from the verb serō, "to sow, plant," and ultimately the Proto-Indo-European root *seh₁-, "to sow."

What started as a word for the specific act and time of planting seeds widened over centuries into a general term for any of the year's recurring divisions.

Season shares its root with Old English sāwan ("to sow") and sǣd ("seed"), so every time you sow a seed, you're echoing the same ancient idea buried in this word.
