the trumpet's chubbier cousin that secretly invented jazz before getting elbowed offstage
means A brass instrument like a trumpet but shorter and more conical in bore, giving it a warmer, mellower tone, also the name for a cone-shaped wafer or paper holder.
from From the French 'cornet,' a diminutive of 'corne' (horn), which descends from Latin 'cornu,' horn — the same root that gives us 'cornucopia' and 'unicorn.' So at its heart the word simply means 'little horn,' a fitting name whether you're playing music through it or scooping ice cream into it.
