To crown someone; to place a crown on someone's head as an act of coronation or honor.
From Latin coronatus (crowned), from coronare (to crown), from corona (crown). Medieval Latin verb adopted into English.
The verb 'coronate' is so rare in modern English that most speakers would use 'crown' instead—but it captures the formal, ceremonial weight of placing a crown in a way 'crown' alone cannot!
