The Chinese word 假期 (jiàqī) for "vacation" or "holiday" is composed of two characters: 假 (jiǎ) and 期 (qī). The character 假 originally meant "false" or "fake", but it can also be used to mean "temporary" or "on leave". The character 期 originally meant "a period of time" or "a deadline", but it can also be used to mean "a holiday" or "a vacation". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 假期, which specifically refers to a period of time when someone is not working or studying.
