The word is derived from the Latin "hiberna" meaning a winter camp or winter quarters. It means to spend the winter in a dormant (not really awake) state. It can be applied to either plants or animals. In the case of animals they usually set up "winter quarters" in a cave or sheltered spot. This shelter is called a Hibernaculum
