What does SECUND mean in Scrabble?
adjective
botany
Having flowers or other parts arranged along one side of a stem only.
Botanists use secund for a spike or cluster in which everything faces the same direction, as in the bells of lily of the valley or some grasses. It is a technical term for the way a plant is built, not a general word for position. The root is the Latin word for following, and the sense is of parts all following one side of the axis.
