PAN (common in various forms to many Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Pfanne; it is generally taken to be an early adaptation in a shortened form of Lat. patina, shallow bowl or dish, from patere, to lie open) , a
term
  applied to various sorts of open,
flat
 , shallow vessels. Its application has been greatly extended by
analogy
 , e.g. to the upper
part
  of the skull; to variously shaped objects capable of retaining substances, such as that
part
  of the lock in early firearms which held the priming (whence the expression " flash in the pan," for a premature and futile effort); or the circular metal dish in which gold is separated from
gravel
 , earth, &c., by shaking or washing (whence the phrase " to pan out," to obtain a good result). Small ice-floes are also called " pans," and the name is given to a hard substratum of soil which acts as a
floor
  to the surface soil and is usually impervious to water. For pan " or " pane " in
architecture
  see HALF-
