    To overwinter is to get through the winter alive, or to help something get through the winter. Insects overwinter under bark. Some birds overwinter in a warmer place. overwinter young plants in a greenhouse — they make it possible for them to live until spring. The word is at home in nature, farming, and biology, not in how was your weekend talk. Though actually, spend the winter and survive the winter are fine in ordinary speech; overwinter just packs the idea into one verb, with a slightly scientific feel. The over- here is not too much. It is the through / across-the-season kind, like living over the winter. That is a different job from the over- in .

    過冬；越冬（生物、園藝較常用越冬）
