Why is the reaping called the reaping in the Hunger Games?
Icefiremadness
The reaping is an event that happens in the town square of each district, in which 2 tributes are chosen from the ages of 12-18 ~ one male, one female ~ to go and fight to the death in an outdoor arena. One thing about this that really angers Katniss is that the whole event is televised, so every person in every district can watch it. In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss's little sister, Prim, is chosen as female tribute, but Katniss volunteers for her. The male tribute reaped is Peeta Mellark, the baker's son.

∙ 12y agoThe Reaping is the day when everyone in all 12 districts gathers in the town square in their own district, and names are drawn, one boy and one girl ages 12-18, to see who will take part in the Hunger Games. The teenagers are thrown into an arena and ordered to kill each other. The last person standing is the winner, and they will train whoever is drawn from their District next year.

I'm guessing they called it the reaping because it is a gathering of two tributes to go into the Hunger Games.
Hope it helped!

The definition of reap is the gather the crops. In the hunger games instead of crops, it is a boy and a girl from each district being gathered to take part in the hunger games. I hope this helped you!!! :)
