corona
Eclipse's glowing ring
Corona is Latin for crown, and its English senses branch from that image.
In anatomy, a corona is a crown-like structure—most often the rounded rim of the glans penis.
In astronomy, the corona is the luminous halo visible around the sun during an eclipse.
Corona became shorthand for coronavirus during the COVID-19 pandemic: I had corona twice in 2021.
Corona is also a brand of Mexican beer.
