Secant is a trignometric function. In a right triangle, the secant of an angle is the hypotenuse over the adjacent side. It is also the inverse of cosine. For example secant(x) = 1/cos(x)
yes
chords and secants are same as secant mean - a line which passes the circle by cutting it at two distinct points chord mean - it is a straight line segment whose endpoint both lie on the circle
Sometimes
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
A chord of a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circumference of the circle. A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.

Sine and cosine are cofunctions, which means that their angles are complementary. Consequently, sin (90° - x) = cos x. Secant is the reciprocal of cosine so that sec x = 1/(cos x). Knowing these properties of trigonometric functions, among others, will really help you in other advance math courses.

That is the correct spelling of the geometric term "secant."
Sometimes
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.
The secant of an angle is the reciprocal of the cosine of that angle. For 60 degrees, the cosine is 0.5, so the secant is 1 divided by 0.5. Therefore, the secant of 60 degrees is 2.
A secant line is a line that cuts a circle in two places.
The secant function is not defined for odd multipls of 90o.
