Unlike other more relatively recent additions to the language, which has shaped the language slightly differently in each country, this word is late Latin, and therefore it has been in the language long before the Spaniards went to America for the first time. It is the only word we all have for "spring" (as a season, not as a curled piece of wire)


I truly appreciate your insightful explanations.

All Spanish-speaking countries.
Not in Spanish.
