panocha

/paˈnot͡ʃa/

noun, feminine/paˈnot͡ʃa/plural: panochas

corncob; ear of grain; panicle; pancake made of cornmeal and cheese; coarse brown sugar

Synonyms: mazorca, elote

Likely from a Mozarabic derivative of a Vulgar Latin *pannucea or *pānucea, based either on Latin pannus (“cloth”) or pānus (“ear of millet”). Despite being heavily associated with panoja, not a straightforward doublet of it.
