Falling or falling away; in botany, describing plant parts that naturally drop off or fall at a certain time (similar to deciduous).
From Latin 'decidens,' the present participle of 'decidere' (to fall down). This is a rare botanical term alongside its more common cousin 'deciduous.'
In botanical Latin, 'decident' and 'deciduous' mean nearly the same thing, but 'decident' is the technical choice that only real plant scientists use when they want to be precise!
