Cobnuts

/ˈkɑbˌnʌts/ noun

Definition

Plural of cobnut; multiple large cultivated hazelnuts with thick shells.

Etymology

From the singular 'cobnut,' which derives from 'cob' (rounded) plus 'nut.' The term became standardized for the specific cultivated variety in English agriculture.

Kelly Says

Cobnuts are so specifically British that they have their own harvest season and are still judged in agricultural competitions—the UK even has an official 'Cobnut Day' to celebrate them.
