Estivation is the simple act of ‘passing the summer’ but does have connotations of long, lazy days and warm, contented nights. |

Another word more often found on the pages of plant biology journals than heard in bars, frondescence can be used to mark the period of time that a certain species opens its leaves to the sun but can also mean simply, foliage. |

I see this word and I think cereal. Nothing to do with Swiss muesli, Alpenglow is a reddish glow that can be seen on the summits of mountains but is also used to refer to the specific glow of the Alps where the snowy heights reflect the sunlight in an unusual way at sunrise and sunset.

The sun isn’t just ‘the sun’ in winter, the touch of its warming glow is far more precious than that and should be given its proper name, apricity. |

The opposite of estivation, hyemation means the passing of winter and comes from the Latin hiemāre, “to winter.” |

Similar to the Turkish word gumusservi, a word meaning ‘moonlight shining on water’ and one the internet says has no equivalent, moonglade is a name for the line of moonlight reflected on water. |
