Definition
Starch or starchy sediment; fine particles of plant material used in food or industrial processing.
Etymology
From Latin 'faecula,' diminutive of 'faex' (dregs or sediment), referring to fine, powdery substances left as residue.
Kelly Says
The word 'faecula' reveals how Romans observed wine-making—they noticed sediments settling at the bottom and created a vocabulary for industrial byproducts!
