pancheon|ˈpænʃən|
Also 7 panshin, -shion, 7–9 -chion, 9 -chin, -shin, -shon.
[Origin obscure: app. derived in some way from pan n.1
Some would identify it with pankin, which is known much earlier; but there are no other instances of the dim. -kin becoming -chin. Influence of puncheon has been suggested.]
A large shallow earthenware bowl or vessel, wider at the top than at the bottom, used for setting milk to stand in to let the cream separate, and for other purposes: sometimes applied to a bread-pan.
