The word **二月 (èryuè)**, meaning "February" or "the second month," is formed through a straightforward logical and numerical construction common in Chinese. It directly combines the number **二 (èr)**, meaning "two," with the character **月 (yuè)**, meaning "month" or "moon." This follows the standard pattern for naming the months of the lunar or Gregorian calendar, where the sequence is simply the numeral followed by the measure word/category "month," reflecting its origin in a lunar calendar system where months are counted in cycles.
