Definition

From Middle English estival, from Old French estival, from Latin aestivalis.

Yet sometimes it is of such a tall growth as doth surpass the length of a lance, but that is only when it meeteth with a sweet, easy, warm, wet, and well-soaked soil--as is the ground of the territory of Olone, and that of Rasea, near to Preneste in Sabinia--and that it want not for rain enough about the season of the fishers’ holidays and the estival solstice. — Gargantua and Pantagruel, François Rabelais
