Coroniform

/kəˈrɒnɪfɔːrm/ adjective

Definition

Having the shape or form of a crown; crown-shaped.

Etymology

From Latin corona (crown) plus -form (from Latin forma meaning 'shape'), literally meaning 'crown-shaped.'

Kelly Says

The suffix -form means 'shaped like' and comes from Latin—scientists use it constantly to describe things (cruciform, uniform, multiform), which is why scientific descriptions often sound like riddles!
