Etymology

Romanian borrowed "sezon" from French "saison" in the modern era, part of a wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian vocabulary in the 19th century. The French word itself descends from Latin "sationem," the accusative of "satio" (a sowing, a planting time), from the verb "serere" (to sow). The meaning shifted over time from a specific agricultural moment to any recurring period of the year.
