Answer

FROND

A frond is the leaf or leaflike part of a palm, fern, or similar plant. The word comes from the Latin 'frons' meaning leaf or foliage. Fronds are typically large and divided into smaller leaflets, giving them that distinctive feathery or lacy appearance we associate with tropical vegetation.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the FR consonant blend at the start, which is less common than simple starting consonants. When you are stuck, try words with consonant clusters to quickly narrow down possibilities.
