Capable of being harvested; ready or suitable for picking or gathering.
From harvest (Old English hærfest) plus the suffix -able meaning 'capable of being.' The root connects to Latin carpere meaning 'to pluck.'
Farmers use this word to describe crops that have reached maturity—it's the sweet spot where grain is dry enough and crops won't shatter on the ground before collection.
