the shape that holds your ice cream and ruins your dog's whole week
means A three-dimensional shape that tapers smoothly from a flat round base to a single point at the top.
from From Latin 'conus,' borrowed in turn from Greek 'kōnos,' which meant a pine cone or the pointed peak of a helmet — the same word also gave us the spiky 'coniferous' trees that drop those cones in the first place. So the geometry came from nature: ancient eyes looked at a pine cone and named the shape after it.
