Hausten

Hausten is a Scottish and Northern English word for harvest time, the season for gathering crops. It refers specifically to the autumn months, particularly September and October, when crops such as grain, potatoes, and root vegetables are gathered from the fields. The word is derived from Old English, with cognates in other Germanic languages. Hausten is often used to describe the period's activities, traditions, and associated weather. It can also be used figuratively to represent a time of reaping rewards or benefits after a period of effort. Hausten is closely linked to agricultural traditions and rural life in Scotland and Northern England.
