Deciduous
Deciduous means "temporary" or "tending to fall off" (deriving from the Latin word , to fall off) and is typically used in reference to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally. In a more specific sense deciduous means the dropping of a part that is no longer needed, or falling away after its use is finished. In plants it is the result of natural processes, in other fields the word has similar meaning, including deciduous antlers in deer or deciduous teeth in some mammals including human children.
