In summary

Inherited from Middle French hyver, from Old French hyveir, yver, iver, from Latin hībernum (tempus) (a borrowing, according to the Trésor de la Langue Française, and first documented in 1282), whence also Italian inverno and Spanish invierno. Closely related to Catalan hivern. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰey-m-r-ino-, from *ǵʰey-.
