コーン

こーん

noun

cone (shape; ice cream; traffic)

1. cone shape; ice cream cone; traffic cone

A cone-shaped object. Covers geometric cones, the wafer cones used for ice cream, and the bright safety cones used to mark off areas on roads and construction sites.

アイスをコーンで食(た)べた。

道路(どうろ)にコーンが並(なら)んでいる。

工事中(こうじちゅう)の場所(ばしょ)は、赤(あか)と白(しろ)のコーンで囲(かこ)まれていた。

Loanword from English "cone." Covers several distinct objects in Japanese — geometric, edible, and safety — without distinguishing them lexically. Note: コーン also means "corn" as a separate loanword from "corn" (the grain); context usually makes which one clear.
