repeating flowering pattern
Etymology
'cyclical-blooming' originates from the combination of 'cyclical,' derived from the Greek word 'kyklos,' meaning 'circle,' and 'blooming,' from the Old English 'blōma,' meaning 'flower.'
'cyclical' evolved from the Greek 'kyklos' through Latin 'cyclus' and Old French 'cyclicus,' while 'blooming' remained largely unchanged from Old English 'blōma.'
Initially, 'cyclical' referred to anything occurring in cycles, while 'blooming' referred to the act of flowering. Together, they describe a pattern of flowering that repeats in cycles.
