季度

• 拼音: jì dù
• 汉字拆解: 季 = 禾 (grain) + 子 (child) — a period or season; 度 = 广 (shelter) + 又 (hand) + 廿 — a measure or degree

含义

Quarter (of a year). A three-month period used for business reporting, financial planning, and scheduling.

Divides a year into four periods: 第一季度 (Q1, Jan-Mar), 第二季度 (Q2, Apr-Jun), 第三季度 (Q3, Jul-Sep), 第四季度 (Q4, Oct-Dec). Primarily used in business, economics, and official contexts. Different from 季节 (natural season) — 季度 is strictly a calendar division for administrative and financial purposes.
