| Remarks | 'Spring' from Old English, i.e., where a spring rises from the ground (source of new growth), from Indo-European base 'sprengh-', i.e., rapid movement (source of German and Dutch 'springen', i.e., jump, and Swedish 'springa', i.e., run) (p. 496 in Ref. 11979); 'salmon' from Latin 'salmo, -onis' linked to 'salire', i.e., to jump and hence, the leaping fish (p. 454 in Ref. 11979).
