I was reading about different types of flowers, and I came across something called a dichasium.

Oh really? What’s a dichasium?

It's a type of flower arrangement that has two branches coming from a single point.

Root Explanation

Dichasium → It is formed from "di-" (meaning two) and "chasma" (from Greek "chasma", meaning cleft or gap). The word refers to a botanical structure that has two branches or divisions, hence the meaning of two clefts.

Memory Tip

Think of 'two' ('di-') and a 'cleft' or 'gap' ('chasma') to remember that a 'dichasium' is a structure with two branches.
