the season that bends time, lengthening days and shortening our patience for indoor obligations
means The warmest season of the year, roughly between spring and autumn, when days are longest.
from A simple welding of "summer" and "time." "Summer" descends from Old English "sumor," with relatives across the Germanic family — Dutch "zomer," German "Sommer" — and a deeper Indo-European root tied to the idea of a season or year. "Time" comes from Old English "tima," meaning a period or fitting moment. So the word is exactly what it looks like: the time of summer, an old and unfussy compound that English has carried for centuries.
