Coroneted

/ˌkɔːrəˈnetɪd/ adjective

Definition

Wearing a coronet; crowned with a coronet as a sign of noble rank.

Etymology

Coronet plus the past participle suffix -ed, creating an adjective meaning 'wearing or decorated with a coronet.'

Kelly Says

In British heraldry, different designs of coronets tell you someone's exact rank—a duke's coronet looks totally different from an earl's, so a single piece of jewelry broadcasts your social status!
