A quick definition of second-degree amendment:

A second-degree amendment is a change proposed to an existing proposal or document. It can be made by adding, deleting, or correcting words. It can be done automatically or by court order. In parliamentary law, it refers to a motion that changes the wording of another motion. There are different types of second-degree amendments, such as adding, inserting, striking out, and substituting. A friendly amendment is one that the original proposer supports, but it still needs to be debated and voted on.

A more thorough explanation:

A second-degree amendment is a type of amendment proposed to a statute, constitution, pleading, order, or other instrument. It is a change made by addition, deletion, or correction, especially an alteration in wording.

For example, an amendment by adding places new wording at the end of a motion or of a paragraph or other readily divisible part within a motion. An amendment by inserting places new wording within or around a motion's current wording. An amendment by striking out removes wording from a motion's current wording. An amendment by striking out and inserting removes wording and replaces it with alternative wording.

Secondary amendment is another term for a second-degree amendment. It is a motion that changes another motion's wording by striking out text, inserting or adding text, or substituting text.

Overall, a second-degree amendment is a way to modify an existing motion or document by changing its wording.
