coronet – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
coronet
n.
small crown; crown-like ornament worn on the head
Coronet
A
coronet is a small
crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring. By one definition, a coronet differs from a crown in that a coronet never has arches, and from a
tiara in that a coronet completely encircles the head, while a tiara does not. By a slightly different definition, a crown is worn by an emperor, empress, king or queen; a coronet by a nobleman or lady. See also
diadem.
