Usage notes
- For a monarch’s symbol, corona is standard; diadema is a jeweled tiara/diadem, not the usual word for a royal crown.
- In dentistry, corona means the tooth’s crown or a dental crown; context usually makes this clear.
- For the sun’s outer atmosphere, use corona; alone it often suggests royalty unless the context is scientific.
