How to spell crown
What it means: An ornamental jeweled headdress signifying sovereignty.
In a sentence: The king wears a shiny crown on his head.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as crowne or croun.
Same family: crowned, crowning, coronation, culminate. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: The verb "crown" comes from the Old French word "corone" and Latin "corona," meaning wreath or garland. Over time, it came to mean placing a crown on someone’s head and then more figuratively to mean finishing or completing something in a splendid way.
