Usage notes
Note that season names are not capitalized in modern English unless at the beginning of a sentence, for example, I can't wait for spring to arrive. Exceptions occur when the season is personified, as in Old Man Winter, is used as part of a name, as in the Winter War, or is used as a given name, as in Summer Glau. This is in contrast to the days of the week and months of the year, which are always capitalized (Thursday or September).
Synonyms
- (season): (US, Canada) fall, (UK dialect) harvest, (UK dialect) back end.
- (time when past prime): decline.
