Corn (disambiguation)

Corn is a generic term for staple food grains of the family Poaceae. Originally it referred to the kernel of any grain, for instance, barleycorn. It is connected with ideas of something that needs grinding, kerning (querning) or corning to be made useful. In various English speaking countries, the term may now be used for some particular grain, often the most common staple food grain in the country. In North America and Australia, this is sweetcorn, a hybridised variety of maize; in England, wheat (though the word "corn" still often retains its generic meaning); and in Scotland, oats.
