lemma
Root word form
A lemma is the base or dictionary form of a word—the form you look up when you want to find "running," "ran," or "runs" (the lemma is "run").
In logic and mathematics, a lemma is a preliminary proposition proved as a stepping stone to a larger theorem.
In botany, a lemma is the outer bract enclosing a grass flower.
