griddlecake

/ˈɡɹɪdəlˌkeɪk/ noun B1

a pancake

Word Origin Griddlecake is griddle + cake. Griddle comes from Latin craticula 'small gridiron,' a diminutive of cratis 'wickerwork, grating.' So a griddle is a flat metal plate for cooking, and a griddlecake is a cake cooked on it. The same root gives us gridiron (a grating), grill, and grid. Cake from Proto-Germanic kakōn is the same cake we know. So a griddlecake is literally a cake from the griddle — a pancake by another name.
