corn /kɔːn $ kɔːrn/ ●●○ S3 noun

plants such as wheat, barley, and oats or their seeds

a tall plant with large yellow seeds that grow together on a cob (=long hard part), which is cooked and eaten as a vegetable or fed to animals

the seeds of this plant

Example

This was one of the largest silk mills in the vicinity, although it started life as a corn mill

Quite possibly it was a corn mill partially converted for fulling

Some people think fresh corn on the cob needs no embellishment

However, a surplus or excess supply still exists and competition among sellers will once again bid down the price of corn

The chickens are raised on a diet of corn and other grains
