  1. Synonym of cornstarch. rare,uncountable
    — Mr. [Otis] Barrett does not appear to realize that the word “corn,” as used by Americans, has so ramified in phrases and compounds of everyday use that to abandon it would entail an appalling number of other changes in our speech. Thus, to be consistent, we should have to substitute “maizemeal” for “cornmeal,” “maizebread” for “cornbread,” “maizestarch” for “cornstarch,” and so on.

词源

From maize + starch.
