Before both words came into 　3　 (exist) in the vocabulary, the seasons separating the cold and warm months didn’t have common names. The main work people did during the pre⁃winter period was harvesting crops, so it 　4　 (call) “harvest” in Old English. Then, in the 1600s, more people left the farmland and moved into cities. 　5　 farming, the term “harvest” became less useful to citizens.
