Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language is regarded by many as the finest English dictionary ever published. The dictionary is available in many forms. I made the content available here for my own purposes, out of personal admiration for this particular dictionary.

FEC'ULA, n.
1. The green matter of plants; chlorophyll.
2. Starch or farina; called also amylaceous fecula.
This term is applied to any pulverulent matter obtained from plants by simply breaking down the texture, washing with water, and subsidence. Hence its application to starch and the green fecula, though entirely different in chimical properties.

fecula appears in definitions for these words:
Farin Fecula Feculum Safflow Starch
