词源	autumn; fall. Autumn is used much more in England, fall in America. Both are lovely old words. Autumn, from the Latin autumn for the season, dates back to the early 14th century. Fall, first recorded in 1545, is short for the season of leaf-fall. In the 1850s autumn was British slang for a hanging through a drop door, the grim joke showing that the British did use fall as a synonym for autumn.
