Origin

The phrase is composed of four characters: 時 (season), 至 (to reach; to arrive), 今 (now; at present; current), and 日 (Sun).

The character 時 is formed with the semantic component 日 (Sun) and the phonetic component 之 (to go). The character 之 is itself composed of the components 止 (foot) and 一 (one).
