Deutero means second and canon is a decree coming from an authority such as a church council. When the two are put together it refers to certain books in the Old Testament which are not in the Hebrew scriptures but which the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox hold are sacred scripture. Some of these books are:
Tobias, I Macchabees, 2 Macchabees, Wisdom, Sirach, etc.

What biblical authors used the word wisdom?
A:Wisdom is most commonly mentioned in the Book of Proverbs and in the Deuterocanical books, where she was a spirit/goddess revered by the Jews of the post-Exilic era. We do not know who actually wrote Proverbs, but the book is often erroneously attributed to King Solomon.Luke 7:34-35 speaks of Wisdom in the same sense as in Proverbs, "But Wisdom is justified of all her children." Although written anonymously, this gospel is traditionally attributed to Luke.Other books refer to wisdom in the more usual sense. For example, Exodus 35:30-31 tells how God filled Bezaleel with wisdom, and in 1 Kings 3:5-12, King Solomon asked God for great wisdom. These authors are unknown.
Who is the she in Proverbs 3?
In Proverbs 3:15-19, the "she" refers to God's wisdom, as stated explicitly in 3:19. Note that in Hebrew there is no neutral gender; everything is grammatically masculine or feminine, including concepts and inanimate things. Wisdom is poetically personified (Proverbs 7:4), as are the day and night (Psalms 19:3), the Earth (Jeremiah 22:29), and tens of other items and ideals. This is traditionally seen as a literary device in order to convey some concept; and no foreign significance should be read into it.See also:Israelite monotheism
What are the seven extra books in the Catholic bible?
Protestant answerThey are called Bible Apocrypha, or deuterocanonical by Catholics. They are ancient writings that were not accepted into the Bible canon. They were not able to be validated as "inspired by God".Some have very informative historical information.For more information, see attached links.Catholic answerThere are no "extra" books in the Bible, the Old Testament is the same as the Bible that the Jews used for five centuries, it was translated into Greek in the fourth century B.C. as the Septuagint, was used by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Most of the quotes in the New Testament are from the Septuagint. The New Testament was composed by the Catholic Church under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and, guided by that same Spirit, was put together as the New Testament in the late fourth century A.D. Twelve centuries later, Martin Luther trashed the Deuterocanical books of the Old and New Testaments. The other protestant "reformers" would not stand for the latter and replaced the deuterocanonicals in the New Testament, they also replaced the deuterocanonicals of the Old Testament but in a separate sections. Centuries later, other protestants removed them and started to call them "apocrypha" which they have never been. Apocrypha writings pretend to be Sacred Scripture but have never been accepted by Christ's Church. The Deuterocanonicals are every bit as canonical as the rest of the Bible. Modern day protestants, not knowing their history, refer to them as "apocrypha" not realizing that they have been part of the canon since the fourth century before Christ, and are frequently referred to by Christ. They are called the Deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament. Please note, at the fifth link below, the Deutercanonical books in the New Testament, that link takes you to a page which lists all the references to the Deuterocanonical books that are given in the New Testament proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus Christ used and referenced the Deuterocanon frequently.
