What does FROND mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A large, divided leaf of a fern, palm, or similar plant, typically rising directly from the base of the plant.
A frond is built differently from an ordinary leaf, usually made of many narrow segments arranged along a central stem, which is why fern fronds look feathery and palm fronds look like green fans. Botanists reserve the word for plants without true woody branches, so the leaves of an oak or a rose are never called fronds no matter how large they grow. The shape of a frond, tightly coiled when young and unrolling as it grows, is one of the most recognisable sights in a fern bed.
