Carpel |
Female part of a flower: a female reproductive organ in a flower, enclosing the fertilized ovules that are developing into seeds. It consists of the stigma and usually a style.
[Mid-19th century. From French carpelle or modern Latin carpellum , literally “little fruit,” both formed from Greek karpos “fruit.”]
