the.com/stamen
The flower's male part, basically pollen on a stick, hoping for wind or bees.
means The pollen-producing male organ of a flower, typically made up of a thin stalk (filament) topped with the pollen-packed anther.
from From Latin stamen, meaning 'the thread of a warp' or '(upright) thread' in weaving — itself from the Proto-Indo-European root sta- 'to stand,' since the warp threads stand upright on a loom. Botanists in the 1700s borrowed the word for the flower's thread-like pollen stalk, fittingly, since it too stands upright, waiting its turn to work.
