The word autumn comes to the Englishlanguage from the Old French autumpne, automne, which came from the Latin autumnus. Prior to that, the origin is uncertain.

Another word for autumn is 'fall'. The word 'fall' was made, as during autumn the leaves 'fall off trees'. This usage is very common among children.
