Meaning and background
The story behind Honeycomb
Honeycomb names the hexagonal wax-cell structure built by honeybees to store honey and rear young. The same word also describes man-made materials with a similar cellular structure. Both meanings arise from physical appearance, not from a historical personal name. With three syllables it is longer than the nearby Honey and Honeybee entries, but quite recognisable as an everyday English noun.
