About
The character 季 combines 禾 (grain) and 子 (child), originally depicting young grain or the final crop of a cycle. This led to its core meaning of "the youngest" or "last in a series", as seen in the birth-order ranking 伯、仲、叔、季. From marking the end of a cycle, its sense extended to the final month of a season, eventually coming to mean a season itself.
