frond
n.
divided leaf (Botany)
Frond
A
frond is a large, divided
leaf. In both common usage and botanical nomenclature, the leaves of
ferns are referred to as fronds and some botanists restrict the term to this group. Other botanists allow the term frond to also apply to the large leaves of
cycads and palms (
Arecaceae). "Frond" is commonly used to identify a large, compound leaf, but if the term is used botanically to refer to the leaves of ferns, it may be applied to smaller and undivided leaves.
