Sense of "autumn" is attested by the 1660s in [[England]] as a shortening of ''[[fall of the leaf]]'' (1540s), from the falling of leaves during this season. Along with ''autumn'', it mostly replaced the older name ''[[harvest]]'' as that name began to be associated strictly with the act of harvesting. Compare ''[[spring]]'', which began as a shortening of “spring of the leaf”.
