The answer
CROWN
What crown means
The circular ornament worn on the head by a monarch as a symbol of royal power and authority, or the top part of a tooth or head.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *corone*, derived from Latin *corona* meaning "garland" or "wreath." The Latin word likely came from Greek *korōnē*, which originally referred to anything curved or arched, such as a curved object or the curved tip of a weapon. The sense shifted from a wreath of honor to a royal headdress, then to sovereignty itself.
