frond
Palm's feathered appendage
A frond is the leaf of a fern or palm, typically large and divided into smaller leaflets.
The word evokes lush, spreading foliage: Fern fronds unfurled in the damp shade.
Frond applies more loosely to any leaf-like plant structure, especially one that's feathery or compound.
