How was April named after :)

           

           April comes from the latin word apherire,to open. April was named after apherire because April is the month that the flowers start to open.

              In the Gregorian calendar,April is the fourth month. The name is derived from the Latin 'aprilis', either from the Latin word 'aperire' which means 'to open', probably a reference to growing plants in spring, or from the Etruscan name 'Apru' for 'Aphrodite'. In the Roman calendar, April was the second month but following Julius Caesar's reform, it became the fourth month.
