Sepaled → It is formed from "sepal" (from Latin "sepalum", meaning a protective leaf or part of a flower) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating a past action or state). The word "sepaled" describes something that has or is characterized by sepals, which are the outer parts of a flower that protect the petals.
Think of the word 'sepal' as a protective leaf around a flower, and remember that 'sepaled' means something that has these protective parts.
