Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORN (a common Teutonic word; cf. Lat. granum, seed, grain) , originally meaning a small hard particle or
grain
 , as of sand, salt, gunpowder, &c. It thus came to be applied to the small hard seed of a plant, as still used in the words barley-corn and pepper-corn. In agriculture it is generally applied to the seed of the cereal plants. It is often locally understood to mean that kind of cereal which is the leading crop of the
district
 ;
1 According to Willoughby it was formerly the custom to carry the
cormorant
  hooded till it was required; in modern practice the. bearer wears a face-mask to protect himself from its beak.thus in England it refers to wheat, in
Scotland
  and Ireland to oats, and in the United States to maize (Indian corn). See.

The
term
  " corned " is given to a preparation of meat (especially beef) on account of the
original
  manner of preserving it by the use of salt in grains or " corns."
