覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
英語の pan は食べ物の「パン」ではなく、浅く平たい調理器具。cook eggs in a pan、heat the pan、wash the pan のように動作と組み合わせる。深い pot「鍋」より浅く、frying pan は特に柄付きのフライパンを明示する語、と形の違いで覚える。
Think of a pan as a shallow cooking container with an open top. Picture three common actions: heat the pan, cook eggs in a pan, and wash the pan. These combinations anchor the English meaning and prevent confusion with Japanese パン, which means bread but comes from a different linguistic source. Compare a pan with a pot: a pan is generally shallower, while a pot is deeper and often used for boiling. Frying pan names the familiar flat pan with a long handle, whereas baking pan can refer to a container placed in an oven.
例文

She cooked eggs in a pan.
彼女はフライパンで卵を焼きました。
Please wash this pan after dinner.
夕食の後でこのフライパンを洗ってください。

pan の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 panne から。ラテン語 patina(浅い皿)に遡り、ギリシャ語 patanē(皿)が起源。patina(古色)やpaten(聖杯皿)と同根。平たい容器という原義がそのまま調理器具の名称として現代に残った。
Pan comes from Old English panne, referring to a broad, shallow vessel. The Germanic forms were influenced by or related to Latin patina, “a shallow dish or pan,” which in turn came from Greek patanē, “dish.” The concrete idea of a flat or shallow container has remained central throughout the word’s history and explains its many modern cooking compounds.
