The Spanish word 'primaveral' meaning 'relating to spring' comes from combining the Spanish word 'primavera' (spring) with the relational suffix '-al'. The word 'primavera' itself comes from Latin 'primavera', which was formed from two Latin words: 'primus' meaning 'first' and 'ver' meaning 'spring'. So literally, 'primavera' meant 'first spring' or 'early spring', and adding '-al' makes it an adjective describing things relating to springtime.

The most obvious related Spanish word is 'primavera' (spring), which is simpler and more commonly used than 'primaveral'. You might also encounter words like 'primo/prima' (cousin, but literally meaning 'first'), which shares the same Latin root 'primus' meaning 'first'.

While English doesn't have direct cognates of 'primaveral', we can recognize related words from the Latin components. From 'primus' (first), we get English words like 'prime', 'primary', and 'primitive'. The Latin 'ver' (spring) gives us 'vernal', as in 'vernal equinox' meaning the spring equinox. So while 'primaveral' might look unfamiliar at first, you can think of it as combining concepts similar to 'primary' and 'vernal' to mean 'spring-like' or 'relating to spring'.
