vernal
Pertaining to March
Vernal means relating to spring—the season between winter and summer.
A vernal equinox marks the astronomical beginning of spring.
Vernal pools are temporary bodies of water that form from spring snowmelt.
The word sometimes suggests youthful freshness or renewal: a vernal optimism.
