ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD CONE
From Latin cōnus, from Greek kōnus pine cone, geometrical cone.
Definition of cone in the English dictionary
The first definition of cone in the dictionary is a geometric solid consisting of a plane base bounded by a closed curve, often a circle or an ellipse, every point of which is joined to a fixed point, the vertex, lying outside the plane of the base. A right circular cone has a vertex perpendicularly above or below the centre of a circular base. Volume of a cone: 1⁄3π r² h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone. Other definition of cone is anything that tapers from a circular section to a point, such as a wafer shell used to contain ice cream. Cone is also the reproductive body of conifers and related plants, made up of overlapping scales, esp the mature female cone, whose scales each bear a seed.
