The word "summer" traces back to Old English sumor, from Proto-Germanic sumuraz, ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European root sem- (meaning "summer"). Unlike compound words, "summer" evolved as a unified term for the season, retaining its core form across Germanic languages (e.g., German Sommer, Dutch zomer). Its ancient root reflects the agricultural significance of the warm season in early societies.
