Deciduous means "falling off at maturity" or "tending to fall off" (deriving from the Latin word decidere, to fall off) [1] and is typically used in reference to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally and to the shedding of other plant structures such as petals after flowering or fruit when ripe.
