Etymology

The word 'coronal' comes from the Latin word 'corona,' meaning 'crown.' This etymology reflects the word's use in various fields, particularly in anatomy and astronomy. In anatomy, 'coronal' is often associated with the coronal suture, a fibrous joint connecting the frontal bone with the parietal bones of the skull. In astronomy, it refers to the corona of the sun, which is the outermost layer of its atmosphere and is visible during a solar eclipse. The term has been used in scientific contexts since the early 19th century, as researchers studied the geometrical and structural aspects of biological and celestial forms. The word 'corona' itself has a broad application, extending to fields such as botany, where it defines a crown-like arrangement of floral structures.
