Originally coined by French botanists, from Ancient Greek πρό (pró) and φύλλον (phúllon).
prophyll (plural prophylls)
Between the coining of the word and the second half of the 20th century, a great amount of confusion existed in the definitions of the word and its equivalents in French and German. Many authors believed the prophyll to be a specific structure, and specialists of the Aroidea often give it such a sense.
