What does CORN mean in Scrabble?
noun
The dominant cereal grain of a region, especially maize, or a hard patch of thickened skin on the foot.
Corn traces back to Old English, where it simply meant any small hard seed, which is why speakers on different continents settled it onto different plants: settlers in North America attached corn to maize, while Britain kept the older habit of applying it to wheat, barley, or oats depending on the district. The unrelated foot ailment took its name separately, from a Latin word for horn, describing the hard growth that forms where a shoe rubs against the toe.
