aprilとは意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Middle English apprile, Aprill, re-Latinised from Middle English aueril, from Old French avrill, from Latin Aprīlis (“of the month of the goddess Venus”), perhaps based on Etruscan �������� (apru), from Ancient Greek Ἀφροδίτη (Aphrodítē, “Venus”). Displaced native 古期英語 ēastermōnaþ (字義どおりに “Easter month”).
