winter
Depicts a rope with knots at both ends. Originally written as 𠂂. Based on the original meaning "tip, extremity", now written as 終. The meaning later shifted to "winter" (the final season of the year), in which the 冫 (ice) component was then added to reinforce the meaning.
《說文》：“冬，四時盡也。从仌，从夂。夂，古文終字。，古文冬从日。”
