Or (iii) a borrowing from Portuguese, combined with an English element. Or (iv) a borrowing from Italian, combined with an English element. Etymons: Catalan primavera ; Spanish primavera ; Portuguese primavera ; Italian primavera , -al suffix¹.

Etymology: Apparently < either Catalan primavera (13th cent.), Spanish primavera (late 14th cent. or earlier), Portuguese primavera (1563), or Italian primavera (end of the 12th cent.), all in sense ‘springtime’ (all ultimately < an unattested post-classical Latin *prima vera , variant (probably arising from reinterpretation of the neuter plural as feminine singular) of classical Latin prīmum vēr first or earliest spring < prīmum , neuter of prīmus prime adj. + vēr ver n.¹) + -al suffix¹. Compare Old Occitan primavera, feminine (13th cent. or earlier; in modern Occitan only in sense ‘primrose’), primver, masculine (c1300 or earlier). Compare also Spanish primaveral (1641 or earlier), Catalan primaveral (1899), Portuguese primaveral (1899), and (with different suffix) Italian primaverile (1828).
