the germanic (english) word for lent does not originate in the romance languages, despite the fact that the rite itself is originally roman-catholic (i presume - not actually sure on that).
eg.
spanish : quaresma
french : carême
etc.there are heaps of explanations for it. one being perhaps that the germanic tongues adopted the dutch word for spring rather than the latinate word for lent, perhaps out of convenience, perhaps out of defiance.
who knows?
