Crounotherapy

/ˌkruːnoʊˈθɛrəpi/ noun

Definition

A theoretical or invented therapeutic practice supposedly involving treatment through crown or rounding; likely a pseudo-medical term.

Etymology

From croun- (relating to crown, from Old French 'corone') + -therapy (from Greek 'therapeia', treatment). This appears to be a constructed or obsolete term without clear historical usage.

Kelly Says

This word is a wonderful example of medical terminology gone wild—combining Latin/Greek roots to create something that sounds scientific but probably never existed in actual practice!
