noun, masculine/sɔ̃/plural: sons
bran
“Ceci est du pain de son.” — This bread is done with bran.
Inherited from Latin secundus (presumably through an earlier Old French form *seon; compare an attested Medieval Latin seonno, seonnum). Cognate with Catalan segó, Old Occitan segon. The meaning derives from the fact that bran results from a second sifting of flour. Doublet of second, a borrowing.
