How to spell spring

What it means: The season when flowers bloom.

In a sentence: In spring, flowers bloom in the garden. ▶

The part people get wrong

Often misspelled as sprinng or sprig.

Same family: springs, springy, coil, bounce, elastic. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: The word "spring" comes from Old English "springan," meaning "to leap" or "to burst forth." The sense of a coiled object that jumps back into shape grew from this idea of sudden movement and bouncing.
