Definition
季节 (jì jié) is the general, everyday word for 'season' (spring, summer, autumn, winter). The similar character 季 (jì) usually appears in compounds (e.g., 四季 'four seasons', 春季 'spring') rather than alone. 四季 (sì jì) specifically refers to all four seasons together, while 季节 covers any single season or the concept itself.
