| 词汇 | schizocarp |
| 词源 | schizocarp. The “wings” or “helicopters” on maple trees that spin like pinwheels when you toss them into the wind, and which you may have attached to your nose when you were a kid, are technically called schizocarps. Schizo means “split,” and the scientific definition for a schizocarp is “a dry dehiscent fruit that at maturity splits into two or more one-seeded carpels.” “Wings,” or “helicopters,” is better. |
