About This Root
From Old French saison (season, period), from Latin satiō (a sowing, planting time), from serere (to sow). The agricultural origin connects planting time to periods of the year (season, seasonal). Seasoned developed a dual meaning: flavored with spices, and experienced (ripened by time). Unseasonable means occurring at the wrong time of year.
