sēcula f (genitive sēculae); first declension

1. (hapax) a sickle
   • 116 BCE – 27 BCE, Marcus Terentius Varro, De Lingua Latina 5.137:

     Falces a farre littera commutata; hae in Campania seculae a secando; a quadam similitudine harum aliae, ut quod apertum unde, falces fenariae et arbor iae et, quod non apertum unde, falces lumaria et sirpiculae.

     • 1938 translation by Roland G. Kent

       Falces ‘sickles,’ from far ‘emmer,’ with the change of a letter; in Campania, these are called seculae, from secare ‘to cut’; from a certain likeness to these are named others, the falces fenariae ‘hay scythes’ and arborariae ‘tree pruning-hooks,’ of obvious origin, and falces lumariae and sirpiculae, whose source is obscure.
