Etymology

Compound of (shoku, eating, food) +‎ パン (pan, bread).[1][2][3] Listed in some references as a contraction of 本食パン (honshoku pan, literally main food bread)[4][5] or of 主食パン (shushokuyō no pan, literally bread for use as a staple food),[5] with the term possibly gaining currency as a way of disambiguating from other senses of パン (pan), such as "cooking pan".[5]

Attested since at least 1890.[1]
