The Chinese word 秋季 (qiūjì) for "autumn" is composed of two characters: 秋 (qiū) and 季 (jì). The character 秋 originally meant "harvest" or "autumn harvest". It is composed of the radical 禾 (hé), which represents grain or crops, and the phonetic component qiu, which is related to the sound of "autumn". The character 季 (jì) originally meant "season" or "quarter of a year". It is composed of the radical 禾 (hé), which represents grain or crops, and the phonetic component ji, which is related to the sound of "season". When combined, the two characters 秋季 (qiūjì) form the compound word for "autumn".
