cone
Pine tree's seed-bearer
A cone is a three-dimensional shape that tapers smoothly from a flat circular base to a point called the apex.
This geometric form appears throughout daily life: ice cream cones, traffic cones, pine cones, and the cones in your eyes that detect color.
The verb cone means to shape something into a cone or to mark off an area with traffic cones: Police coned off the accident scene.
In casual use, to cone can mean to eat ice cream from a cone.
