PETAL
What petal means
The colorful or white leaf-like part of a flower that surrounds the reproductive organs and helps attract pollinators.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *petal*, borrowed from Medieval Latin *petalum*, which came from Greek *pétalon*, meaning "leaf" or "blade." The Greek word originally referred to any thin, flat object, then came to describe the colorful leaf-like structures of flowers. The term entered English through botanical Latin during the Renaissance as Europeans developed more precise vocabulary for plant anatomy.
