"secula" meaning in Latin

See secula in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From secō (“to cut, cleave”) + -ula. Mentioned by Varro as a Campanian synonym of falx. The long ē is reconstructed based on the quality of the vowel in Italian segolo: along with tēgula and rēgula, it may display a lengthened grade of the Proto-Indo-European root, although the reason for vowel lengthening in this context is not well understood. Grandgent 1907 views it instead as a phonetic variant of sīcula.
