The Chinese word 冬季 (dōngjì) for "winter" is composed of two characters: 冬 (dōng) and 季 (jì). The character 冬 originally meant "to hibernate" or "to store food for the winter". It is composed of two parts: the radical 虫 (chóng), which represents insects, and the phonetic component 東 (dōng), which is a variant of the character 東 (dōng), meaning "east". The character 季 originally meant "a season" or "a quarter of a year". It is composed of two parts: the radical 禾 (hé), which represents grain, and the phonetic component 己 (jǐ), which is a variant of the character 已 (yǐ), meaning "already".When combined, the characters 冬 and 季 form the word 冬季, which specifically refers to the winter season. In modern Chinese, 冬季 is used to refer to the coldest season of the year, which typically lasts from December to February in the Northern Hemisphere.
