Words With Friends What is the meaning of corona?
Definition
noun (English)
1. (anatomy) An upper or crownlike portion of certain parts of the body.Examples: "Is it probable that this depression has arisen from the distorting effect of some form of head dress, similar perhaps to that which is still applied to the heads of infants in various parts of France, as described by Drs. Foville and Lunier? This consists of a neckerchief passed twice round the head from the corona either to the back of the neck, when the resulting deformity (which is that of the Charlcombe skull) is designated annular by Dr. Gosse; or is carried under the chin and jaw, when it is termed bilobed by the same writer."; "The ophthalmic division supplies sensation from the eyebrows to the coronal suture. The sensory innervation stops at the corona, not at the hairline, and this fact may help one to differentiate a true abnormality from a factitious one, since people who are “faking” sensory loss more often lose sensation at the hairline."
2. (anatomy) An upper or crownlike portion of certain parts of the body.Examples: "The solids are derived from the fluids. In the first rudiments of the gelatinous embryo, they gradually commence in their respective situations, and differ infinitely in their degrees of cohesion, from the soft and almost pulpy medullary matter of the brain, to the vitreous substance of the corona of the teeth."

5. (astronomy)Examples: "My investigations seem to prove conclusively that the theoretical corona is caused by light emitted and reflected from streams of matter ejected from the Sun by forces which, in general, act along lines normal to the surface. These forces are most active near the center of each Sun-spot zone."; "The corona is a high-temperature portion of the Sun's outer atmosphere, beginning slightly above the visible surface and extending hundreds of thousands of kilometers, or further, into interplanetary space."

They fleeted in and out of visibility, made of dark light. They entered his body and exited it, they faded up, they ebbed out."; "The creatures lay with the humans, dead islanders alongside them.

Worshipped with them, the scientists said, looking anew at the shards of illustration still visible, the extraterrestrial and the human at prayer together, coronaed, altar-top boxes glowing."

A possible non-specific reaction could be excluded by use of animal corona antisera."; "Although this study was restricted to the human coronaviruses, these basic properties apply to all known animal and human coronas (results not shown)."Synonyms: rona

(informal, also attributively) A disease caused by a coronavirus, especially COVID-19.Examples: "She caught corona last week."; "The MERS outbreak in the hospital created widespread fear and panic among healthcare providers and other employees.

(Wroth, Poems 127)."
