Winter

The season of the year in which the sun shines most obliquely upon any region; the coldest season of the year.

The period of decay, old age, death, or the like.

To pass the winter; to hibernate; as, to winter in Florida.

To keep, feed or manage, during the winter; as, to winter young cattle on straw.
