the original deadline, set by frost and enforced by hunger.
means The gathering of ripe crops from the fields, or the season when this happens, or by extension the yield itself.
from From Old English 'hærfest,' which originally meant the season we now call autumn — the time of reaping — before the word shifted to name the act of gathering rather than the months. It descends from a Proto-Germanic root (kin to German 'Herbst,' still meaning autumn) and reaches back to a Proto-Indo-European root '*kerp-,' 'to gather, pluck,' a distant cousin of Latin 'carpere,' 'to pluck' — the same root that gave us 'carpe diem.' So to seize the day and to bring in the wheat share an ancient ancestor.
