英文释义

名词 n.
  1. Synonym of popcorn (“snack food”). rare,uncountable
    — It is called “maizypop” because the Londoners call what we term corn maize and refuse to call it anything else. Therefore it is necessary to name our popcorn “popmaize,” or, more euphoniously, “maizypop,” on that side. Under any other name it would be just as palatable, but might not be as easily advertised.
  2. Synonym of popcorn (“type of maize”). countable,rare,uncountable
    — Some teratological phenomena of ears of maize were investigated in diallel crosses of the following lines selfed 7, 8 years: 4- and 8-rowed flint maize (P4, P8), 12- and 18-rowed dent maize (P12, P18), and an approximately 40-rowed popmaize (P40), with fasciated spherical ears.
