waffle
Breakfast with squares
Waffle names two unrelated things.
The food is a batter cake with a grid pattern, cooked in a hinged iron that gives it characteristic indentations: Belgian waffles, chicken and waffles.
The verb waffle means to speak or write evasively, avoiding commitment: The candidate waffled on immigration policy.
To waffle is to equivocate, to go back and forth without deciding.
