I could not find the sense,bakery: baked goods, in OED/OAD, MW, MacMillan or otherbilingual dictionaries.The only sourceI found so far isLexico.Personally, I’d consider it a transference mistake made by speakers from languages coalescing the meaningsbusiness/place baked goods are produced at andbaked goods itself.What do you think? ‑‑Kai Burghardt (talk)13:58, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
That's news to me. One can certainly find lots of usage with "bakery" attributively modifying nouns, as in "bakery bread", but not (in this sense) as a noun on its own. Of course, I can't say categorically that such usage doesn't exist, but I've never encountered it.Chuck Entz (talk)14:36, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Chuck Entz: Isn't this the sense that's used in "fresh bakery"? Because that catchphrase is common, also in California ([1]). While this could perhaps also be a hypallage, I think I've heard it in other contexts too.This book seems to support my claim apart from the fact that it (cites something that) qualifies it withchiefly Ger settlement areas. —Fytcha〈 T| L| C〉15:01, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
