Why does autumn have two names? According to Merriam-Webster, “autumn" appeared first in English in the 1300s, coming from the Latin word “autumnus". “Autumn" caught on quickly, likely because it replaced the 61(origin) name—“harvest". As you might imagine, when crops were collected from the fields, calling the season “harvest" might make people 62 (confuse) because “harvest" is also the name for the act 63 (it).
So “autumn" appeared instead of “harvest". Then the term, “autumn", 64 was referred to the season between summer and winter, lasted for a couple of 65 (century). “Fall" as a name for the season came about sometime in the 1500s, a shortened version of the very poetic phrase for “the fall of leaves". The English phrase had true meaning of the season without leading 66 any confusion. Not even a century later, the phrase became a simple word： fall.
Around this same time, the English language was traveling across the globe as Britain expanded, and it was 67 (go) through some changes, as many languages did. This was 68 (particular) true in the American colonies (殖民地).Some English words changed in the US, whether in terms of spelling 69 in terms of general usage. In the mid-1800s, British and American English speakers further developed in different ways and "fall" was the common word for "autumn" in the US, while autumn 70 （regard） as the word for fall in England.
