Harvest
Autumn celebration name
Harvest is the gathering of crops when they're ripe, or the season when this happens: The wheat harvest begins in late July.
By extension, harvest means any gathered yield: a harvest of data, a bountiful harvest of ideas.
To harvest is to collect or extract: harvest organs for transplant, harvest timber.
A grim harvest suggests death or destruction reaped from conflict or disaster.
