The last four months of the year—September, October, November, and December—end in "ber" because they derive their names from Latin. Specifically, "septem," "octo," "novem," and "duodecim" mean seven, eight, nine, and twelve, respectively, indicating their original positions in the Roman calendar. When the calendar was reformed to begin in January, these months retained their names despite their shifted positions. Thus, they all end with the same suffix, reflecting their Latin origins.
The 'ber' months are referring to months of the year that end in ber. They include:SeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember

The suffix "ber" at the end of a month's name (like September, October, November, and December) originates from the Latin word "mensis," meaning "month." These months were originally the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months in the Roman calendar, which began in March. The "ber" is derived from the Latin numerals: September (7), October (8), November (9), and December (10). Even after the calendar was restructured to start in January, the names remained unchanged.
The last 4 months of the year were named from their Latin origins; "septem" for seven, "octo" for eight, "novem" for nine, and "decem" for ten. This was back when there were only ten months of the year instead of twelve i.e. the wintertime was mostly monthless until January and February were added to the calendar.

The four moments that define the beginnings and end points of the seasons are the solstices and the equinoxes. If the last one of these that passed is a solstice, then the season you are in ends at the next equinox. If the last one of these that passed is an equinox, the season you are in will end at the next solstice. Seasons are about 3 months long, but for various reasons they are not precisely equal in length.
