'spring-like' originates from the English word 'spring,' which refers to the season following winter, combined with the suffix '-like,' indicating resemblance.

The word 'spring' comes from Old English 'springan,' meaning 'to leap or burst forth,' and '-like' is a common English suffix used to form adjectives.

Initially, 'spring' referred to the act of leaping or jumping, but over time it evolved to denote the season characterized by growth and renewal.
