Etymology · 词源
Source confidence · 资料可信度：Source-backed · 有资料依据现代简体“届”对应“屆”。历史上的“屆”从尸、凷声，早期有行动不便的意思，后来发展出“到达、期限、届次”等常用义；不能解释成“尸＋由”。 以上是各字的历史构形说明；“届”作为现代词语时，应结合完整词义学习，不能把单字意义机械相加。
The simplified 届 corresponds to 屆. The historical form uses 尸 with 凷 as a sound element; later meanings include “arrive,” “term,” and a numbered session. It is not historically 尸 + 由. These notes explain the characters’ formation. Learn 届 as a complete modern word rather than mechanically adding isolated character meanings.
Learning note · 学习提示：形旁通常提示意义范围，声旁通常提示较早的读音；现代普通话读音或字义可能已经发生变化。 Semantic components often suggest a meaning range, while phonetic components often reflect an earlier pronunciation; modern Mandarin sound or meaning may have changed.
部件联想帮助记忆字形，不代替严格的汉字字源研究。基础整体字不会为了动画而强行拆解。Component associations support visual memory; they do not replace rigorous historical research. Basic whole characters are never forced into an artificial decomposition for animation.
