Crownation

/ˌkraʊˈneɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act or ceremony of placing a crown on someone's head, especially a monarch; coronation.

Etymology

From 'crown' + '-ation' (suffix denoting an action or process). This appears to be a variant or alternative form of the more common 'coronation,' influenced by direct reference to the noun 'crown.'

Kelly Says

The word 'coronation' comes from Latin 'corona' (crown), but 'crownation' shows English speakers naturalizing it by building directly from the English word 'crown'—a common pattern in how languages evolve!
