Fructidor is a month of the French Republican calendar, named after the Latin word "fructus", meaning "fruit", and the suffix "-idor", which is a common ending for months in the French calendar. It was the 12th month of the year in the French Republican calendar, and was celebrated with festivals and harvest-themed celebrations. In the original French Republican calendar, Fructidor was a 29-day month that fell approximately between August and September in the modern Gregorian calendar. However, the French Republican calendar was abolished in 1805, and the modern French calendar is now based on the Gregorian calendar.
