estival
[es-tuh-vuhl]
adjective: relating to or happening during summer
|
Why settle for "summery" when you can say "estival"? This versatile word for all things summer is more likely to be found in botany texts and poetry, but there's nothing stopping you from unleashing it at your next beach trip or poolside cookout. If you really want to impress, you can use it to refer to your favorite estival festival! |
Example: The warm, estival breeze carried the scent of blooming jasmine through the open window all July.
