The Chinese word 学期 (xuéqī) for "semester" is composed of two characters: 学 (xué), meaning "study" or "learn", and 期 (qī), meaning "period" or "term". Together, they form the compound word 学期, which literally means "study period" or "term of study". This term is used in Chinese to refer to a specific period of time during which students attend school or university, typically lasting for several months. Each 学期 is usually divided into two parts, with a break in between, and the length of an 学期 can vary depending on the educational institution and the level of study.
