corōna

corōna „Girlande, Rosenkranz, Kranz“; 'Krone'

Entlehnt aus agrie. κορώνη (korṓnē, „eine Art Seevogel, vielleicht Sturmtaucher; eine Krähe; alles, was gebogen oder hakenförmig ist (wie ein Türgriff oder die Spitze eines Bogens); eine Art Krone“, von uig. *(s)ker- „drehen, beugen“.

Borrowed from Ancient Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, “a type of sea-bird, perhaps shearwater; a crow; anything curved or hooked (like a door handle or the tip of a bow); a type of crown”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to turn, bend”).
