The Chinese word **春季** (chūnjì), meaning "spring season," is formed through the combination of two characters: **春** (chūn), which independently means "spring" in the seasonal sense, and **季** (jì), which means "season." Structurally, it follows the common Chinese compound word pattern of modifier (**春**) + head noun (**季**), where the first element specifies the type of the second, literally creating "spring season." This formation is semantically transparent and logical, representing a standard and productive method in Mandarin for creating precise temporal nouns.
