Secant is a line that crosses two points on a curve. It is used in relation to cosines and tangents in trigonometry and is derived from the Latin word Secare, which means to cut.
Yes, a secant line always contains a chord. A secant line intersects a curve at two distinct points, and the line segment connecting these two points is defined as a chord of the curve. Therefore, by definition, any secant line will have a corresponding chord on the curve it intersects.

The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.

mathematical phrase
sec(x)=1/cos(x), by definition of secant.
The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse divided by the adjacent side. The tangent angle of a right triangle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.

a secant is a line containing a chord. A secant is a line that intersects the circle twice(or passes through a circle)
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
That is the correct spelling of the geometric term "secant."
