Greek display:    
Headword: *qe/ros
Adler number: theta,255
Translated headword: summer
Vetting Status: high

The [sc. Attic] orators used not to call ['summer'] the season, like 'winter and spring and summer', but they named thus the harvested fruits of the seeds.

For this headword see already theta 255. The present material is paralleled, more briefly, in Etymologicum Magnum 446.55-56 (Kallierges).
For an example of the point made here see Demosthenes 53.21 (web address 1), and generally LSJ s.v. qe/ros II.
