Etymology

From Latin vern?lis (“(rare) of or pertaining to spring; vernal”), from v?rnus (“of or pertaining to spring; vernal”) + -?lis (suffix forming adjectives of relationship). V?rnus is derived from v?r (“season of spring”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wósr? (“spring”)) + -nus (suffix forming adjectives). The English word is cognate with Old French vernal (modern French vernal), Italian vernale (“pertaining to spring; vernal”), Occitan vernal, Portuguese vernal (“pertaining to spring; vernal”), Spanish vernal (“pertaining to spring; vernal”).
