单词 scone
释义

sconen.

Brit. /skəʊn/, /skɒn/, U.S. /skoʊn/, /skɑn/, Scottish English /skɔn/
Forms: Also 1500s–1800s scon, skon, (1700s sconn).
Etymology: Perhaps a shortened adoption of Middle Dutch schoonbrot, Middle Low German schonbrot ‘fine bread’. The Low German word is explained in the Bremen glossary (1771) as a sort of white loaf with two acute and two obtuse angles, and the similar schönroggen (‘fine rye’) in the Hamburg dialect denoted ‘a seed-cake with three rounded corners’. (See Grimm's Deutsches Wb. s.v. Schön.) From the latter word are Middle Swedish skanroggä, Middle Danish skonroggen, Icelandic skonrok ‘a biscuit’ (Vigfusson).
Originally Scottish.
1. A large round cake made of wheat or barley-meal baked on a griddle; one of the four quadrant-shaped pieces into which such a cake is often cut; more generally, a soft cake of barley- or oatmeal, or wheat-flour, baked in single portions on a griddle or in an oven. Also with defining words, denoting varieties of this cake, as butter scone, potato scone, soda scone, treacle scone; brown scone n. one made of whole meal. drop-scone n. (dropped scone) one made of a small portion of batter dropped on the griddle or on a tin and baked. fried scone n. one in which the ingredients are made into a batter and fried. sweetie scone n. Scottish (see quot. 1808).The Eng. Dial. Dict. has an 18th cent. quot. for ‘three nucket scons’ (three-cornered scones). The context of quot. 1513 below shows that a four-cornered cake was meant.
