APRIL
The exact etymology of “April”, the name of the fourth month of our year, seems to be uncertain. The ancient Romans called it “mensis Aprilis”, which roughly translated as “opening month”. The suggestion is that April is the month in which fruits, flowers and animals “open” their life cycles.
The alphabetically first element in a set of 12 would be the one that comes first when arranged in alphabetical order. In English, the letters of the alphabet are:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L
Therefore, in a set of 12 elements, the alphabetically first one would be “A.”
