scone

Scone entered Scots possibly from Middle Low German schö̂ne, meaning 'fine flour bread', or from Middle Dutch schoonbroot, a compound of schoon ('fine') and broot ('bread'). Alternatively, it may come from Scottish Gaelic sgonn, meaning 'lump' or 'mouthful'.

The facts don't trace a clear shift in meaning over time, only competing possibilities for where the word began.

If the Dutch root holds, scone shares a family resemblance with English 'bread' through schoonbroot's second half, broot.
