Disseason

/dɪsˈsi.zən/ verb

Definition

To make something inappropriate or unsuitable for the season; to throw off proper seasonal timing.

Etymology

From dis- (opposite) + season. This rare word appears in early modern English texts, though it's largely archaic.

Kelly Says

Shakespeare might have used 'disseason' to describe something wildly out of place—like summer snow or winter flowers. It captures the Elizabethan sense that everything has its proper time and place.
