SCONE

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 408 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCONE , the Scots name of a species of cake made of wheat or
barley
 
meal
  and baked on a griddle. The cakes are round and are usually cut into four pieces, thus giving the
familiar
  shape of a wedge with circular edge. The broad lowland bonnet was called a " scone " or " scone-cap " from its shape. The word appears to have been a shortened form of a Low Ger. Schonbrot, i.e. fine
bread
 , explained in the Bremen Glossary (1771), quoted in the New
English
  Dictionary, as a sort of
white
  loaf with two acute and two obtuse angles. The Hamburg dialect word schonroggen, fine rye, was adopted into Swedish and Icelandic in the sense of biscuit.
