The compound adjective 'spring-blooming' is a transparent modern English formation. Its first element, 'spring', originally meant a leap or sudden emergence in Old English, a sense which naturally evolved to name the season when plants and life burst forth. The second element, 'bloom', entered English from Old Norse, carrying its core meaning of flower or blossom. The suffix '-ing' is a native English participial ending, here converting the verbal action 'to bloom' into an adjectival form. Thus, the word's logic is directly descriptive: it denotes the characteristic of a plant that undergoes the action of blossoming during the season of spring.
