Etymology: "Cornbreads" is simply the plural of "cornbread," a bread made from maize meal. The base word is a compound of "corn" and "bread." In British usage "corn" once meant grain in general, but in American English it came to mean maize, so "cornbread" names bread made from that grain. The plural form refers to several loaves, pans, or batches of this bread.
