corns
Painful foot growths
Corns is the plural of corn in its older sense of a grain or kernel—now mainly encountered in corned beef, where the name refers to the coarse grains of salt used in curing.
Corns also names the small, hardened patches of skin that form on toes from friction or pressure: Her new shoes gave her corns.
