Answer:

A Secant is a line in the plane of a circle that intersects the circle at exactly two points

Explanation:

A line intersecting in two points is called a secant line, in one point a tangent line and in no points an exterior line. A chord of a circle is the line segment that joins two distinct points of the circle. A chord is therefore contained in a unique secant line and each secant line determines a unique chord.
