Etymology

1560s, from Middle French cone (c. 16th century) or directly from Latin cōnus (“cone; peak of a helmet”), from Ancient Greek κῶνος (kônos, “cone, spinning top, pine cone”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European * ḱeh₃- (“to sharpen”). Cognate to Sanskrit शित (śita, “sharpened”), Latin catus (“sharp”), Old English han (“stone”)).
