Meaning of "vendemiaire" in English

"Vendemiaire" is not a standard English word but is referenced from the French Republican Calendar, which was used during the French Revolution. The calendar aimed to remove religious and royalist influences from the calendar. "Vendemiaire" was the name given to the first month of this calendar, which corresponds roughly to the period between September 22 and October 21. It was named after the Latin word "vindemia," meaning "vintage," because it aligned with the grape harvest in France, reflecting the agricultural character of the time.
