| comment | From Vulgar Latin *(tempus) veranum. Compare hībernum winter, an ellipsis of the attested phrase tempus hībernum 'wintertime'. The original sense of 'spring' survives in Corsican veranu, viranu and Sardinian beranu, eranu, veranu. In Ibero-Romance there has since been a shift to the sense of 'summer' due to the derivatives of prīma vēra (originally 'early spring') taking over the general sense of 'spring'.
